"Swan's Way" - This issue marks the first in a periodic series of 'Displaced in Time' stories affecting the Legion in both of their titles.

Unexpectedly, this idyllic scenario comes crashing down around them when Happy Harbor is invaded by a monster from another planet -- who happens to be one of the Legion's own members!
