Spoilers for Earth-Prime #3: Legends of Tomorrow!
You can see the first few pages here.
So Mick’s Necrian babies have been kidnapped, and despite his usual laconic brusqueness he’s actually pretty desperate to get them back. He, Kayla, and the other ex-Legends search through time and space to find them, only to learn that it was Kayla’s mum who took them. She’s a powerful warlord on Necria, and wanted to see her grandkids despite the longtime tensions with her daughter. And it turns out that she never ate Kayla’s dad despite saying so earlier, and he happens to be a big fan of Rebecca Silver. Kayla’s mum returns the kids on condition of getting to see them on holidays, and everything works out for Team Ex-Legends. Mick’s clearly thrilled to have the babies back and Nate finally contacts Ray after the Legends’ 1925 adventures are over, so a rescue isn’t necessary.
Flash forward to a gathering in 2049, in which some of the gang are catching up with each others’ lives and the lives of their kids, but they’re suddenly teleported away, one by one. Sara’s taken first and Mick calmly assumes she’s been abducted by aliens again, but he disappears too until only poor Carter’s left and sulking that he isn’t good enough to be kidnapped…and then he’s taken too. The scene ends with a ‘To be continued!’, so it seems like there will be further adventures set in the Legendsverse at some point. Maybe there’ll be more comics to finish the story, though I haven’t heard of anything yet.
There’s also a short story at the end which tells of Booster Gold’s adventures between stealing the Waverider and getting arrested (and a bit about his motivation, as he was trying to save Skeets). Hopefully this gets finished as well, even if the showrunners have to flesh out the upcoming season in comics form; I hate the idea of the series ending on a cliffhanger with no resolution. But now two stories which need to be concluded does at least suggest there’s something on its way. Fingers crossed!

Spoilers for Earth-Prime #3: Legends of Tomorrow!
This is the official preview for the issue, which you can also see at Adventures In Poor Taste.
Supposedly these comics are canon for the show, and if so then there’s a bunch of surprising new baby announcements…or child announcements, in the case of the Hawks. And the Captain Cold on the cover is apparently Jax. Mick’s kids get kidnapped, but hopefully they and Mona will be okay.
Aaaaand the TV series has just been cancelled, so maybe this is it for this `verse.

Nooooooooo! >sob<
Oh no, sorry if you hadn’t heard! :( It’s sad news, although I do take some comfort in knowing that it probably wasn’t anything personal against the show. It sounds like the CW itself is in dire straits and desperately trying to stay afloat. You’ve got to wonder how they fell so hard and so fast.

A “number of crossover events with other Arrowverse shows helping to keep its momentum” for LoT? They missed a lot of those, did they?
I think they missed two crossovers, yeah. I guess it’s possible the early crossovers they were part of helped them keep going during rockier periods and then they smoothed out and didn’t need that anymore. And maybe that hurt them in recent seasons, but big events are pretty disruptive and they could have been gambling that it wasn’t necessary to take part….it seems like the CW is doing so poorly that crossovers might not have helped LoT anyway.
