Episode 43 – Proteans, Insects and Psychos, Oh My!

In this episode, the Subs are lost in the timestream. It’s almost as though this episode were recorded prior to Legion of 3 Worlds, San Diego Comicon and the birth of Paul’s daughter. You’d think he’d remember something like that!

The guys tackle the Unknown Legionnaire, from Adventure Comics #334, The Insect Queen, from Superboy #124, and then, just when you thought the episode was over, or at least Paul did, they give you The Sacrifice of Kid Psycho, from Superboy #125.

All this and a Stump the Subs submitted by Glen Quagmire! Will he beat the timelost Subs? Listen in and find out!

Episode 42: Life, The Universe, and Legion of Three Worlds #5

It’s a full house as Darren, Matt, Scott and Paul are joined by Matthew Elmslie (Teenagers From The Future, and The Legion Abstract) and Pete Van Den Eng, to discuss Legion of 3 Worlds #5. It’s here, and Paul won’t be a dad for another couple of days.

We take a look at all of the characters, dig into the easter eggs, and all the minutia, and speculate a little bit on what comes next.

Episode 41 – S.U.B.S. ‘09: A Discussion with Tony Bedard, writer of R.E.B.E.L.S.

In this episode, we sit down for an hour long chat with R.E.B.E.L.S. scribe Tony Bedard and cover topics such as his experience as a letterer and an editor, his work with excellent artists like Andy Clarke, Claude St. Aubin and Paul Pelletier, some teases to future storylines in R.E.B.E.L.S., and much more including Tony’s nickname in college!

Then we dig deep into the mailbag and read some listener feedback… with the help of another special guest, who must have thought we said “feedbag” not “feedback”.

It’s cosmic craziness, as we still try to handicap the race between Paul’s baby and Legion of 3 Worlds issue 5!

Episode 40 – An Eye For An Eye Part 3

Matt, Darren, Scott and Paul dig into the last two issues of An Eye For An Eye, from Legion of Super Heroes Vol 3 #s 5 and 6.

Thrill to the power of a vengeful queen, the other side of a sibling rivalry, and the 1984 Saturday Morning Cartoon lineup. From a biography of comics legend Joe Orlando, to the recurrence of early 80s advertising slogans on other worlds in the 30th century, to an early credit for the Fresh Prince’s Uncle Phil, this one’s got them all!

Episode 38 – An Eye For An Eye Part 1

Join us as Darren, Matt, Paul and Scott explore the first two issues of the Legion’s Baxter run. This one has more villains and heroes than you can shake a stick at, so put your sunglasses on to protect your eyes from the bright white paper, spark up the Intellivision for a round of  Burger Time, and check out revenge, Legion style!

Episode 37 – 37? In a Row? Warning: Spoilers for Moby Dick Ahead!

Matt, Darren and Paul discuss Adventure Comics 332 and 333, where we meet the Super Moby Dick of Space and then witness the war between Krypton and Earth! With all this, they even manage to solve the Fortay/Fort debate with regards to the name of Legion artist John Forte.

Also discussed, Matt and Paul’s love for the show Homicide: Life on The Street, Darren’s news from the Land of the Lost front, not even remotely subtle Kevin Smith references and hemp beer from British Columbia!
