How Do Luthor, Lois and the Legion Tie Together in September?

Connective tissue, that's the watchword for comic books these days, remember. And Brian Bendis is its champion. So in September 2019, we learn a few things.

First of all, Brian Bendis' Legion Of Super-Heroes: Millenium isn't the only place the Legion will be in September 2019. They also pop by Metropolis in Superman #15, by Bendis, Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.

At last, it's the return of the Legion of Super-Heroes! The greatest super heroes of the 32nd century have traveled back in time not just to meet the heroes who inspired them, but to make an offer…but to which hero? And why will that choice tear Superman's life apart? Plus, the fallout from Lex Luthor's conversation with Lois Lane escalates! What dark secret did Lex tell Lois?

While Bendis spinoff book Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #3 by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber tells us,

Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today in this catalog to remember our friend, Superman's pal, the late Jimmy Olsen…'s assassination decoy!  Wait, somebody killed Jimmy's decoy body? But whodunit? And, like, whydunit? And…wait, when did Jimmy get a decoy of himself? What we do know is it's not safe for Jimmy in the City of Tomorrow anymore, and with Superman busy and all (you read that SUPERMAN #15 solicit yet?), Jimmy's best bet is to solve his own murder within the safe borders of Gotham City! (Seriously, "safe"?)

We have read it, yes. While another spinoff book Lois Lane #3 by Greg Rucka and Mike Perkins also ties in,

Jon Kent surprises his mother with a visit to her hideout in Chicago with big news that ties directly into the events of SUPERMAN #15, also on sale this month. While Lois must deal with her now-17-year-old son making life-changing decisions, the two Questions—Renee Montoya and Vic Sage—try to understand their own confusing continuity.

Connective tissue. Luthor, Lois and the Legion… how does it all tie in?
