The cover mockup I saw had IDW and DC stamps on the cover but, just from the appearance, I would say it looks like IDW. I can't confirm that though.

Nope, I was wrong. I can confirm. The article says that IDW will be publishing it.

According to this article, it's due to begin in October 2011.
cool thanks for that. That means the collected edition will be awesome. all so I would to see space marines crossover with the federation and see how they would react to spock.
That's not always true. For instance, JLA/Avengers is canonical within the pre-DCnU DC universe as sequel storylines about the Cosmic Egg created in JLA/A were told in both JLA and Trinity. X-Men/New Teen Titans was canonical within the pre-Crisis DC Universe as it was explicitly referenced in "The Judas Contract" storyline. The Savage Dragon/Hellboy crossover is canonical within Erik Larsen's universe. So there are crossover stories that count.
That said... Do I expect this story, Trek/Legion to ever be referenced anywhere? No, not one bit. It's set in a version of the DCU that doesn't even exist anymore, and IDW's Star Trek comics are generally disconnected from one another, so there's no cause for this to have lasting effects on the DC or the Star Trek universes. That's not a reason not to read the story, though; speaking only for myself, this is the kind of thing I've wanted to read for over twenty years, and so long as it's entertaining and fun, it'll be worth it. And with the creators behind it, I know it's going to be great.
The Great Darkness Saga itself just came out in a nice jumbo hardcover... though it's probably a bit much if you just want to sample the Legion before reading the comic.
CBR is doing a month of "Easter Egg" appearances, and has posted a page of previous Trek appearances in the Legion of Super Heroes:

Interesting. I remember the X-Men/Star Trek crossovers and being disappointed with those. We'll see how these ones go.
I know it's not a comic book, but have you seen these videos? (Remember to watch all three parts, in order.)

Have you ever even READ a Legion comic? Seriously, have you?
Even at it's most mediocre, the Legion is better than 75% of comics out there.
That's a bit strong, isn't it? I like LoSH too, but it can be pretty bad at its worst. Maybe not Countdown-level or anything, but pretty bad.
I gather, just from what I've read on comics sites, that Legion is kind of a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing. It has a passionate fan following, but there are a lot of people who just don't get it. I think I'm in the latter category. At least, I found the TV series rather boring, though of course that's no reflection on the original. I did kinda like the Smallville episode featuring the Legion, though mainly because they cast a really hot Saturn Girl.
I actually found her pretty unattractive. Maybe it was just her mouth.
It was the Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning stuff which got me hooked on the Legion. This was during the reboot era. (Preboot meaning before the reboot). This was during the era when many of the ultra lame names of the silver age had been abandoned. (Lightning Lad was Live Wire, Chameleon Boy was Chameleon, Phantom Girl was Apparition, etc.). Can't say I didn't agree with some of those changes.
