That’s right. We said it.

In this episode, Paul, Darren and Matt talk about the Legion and learn an important life lesson. That life lesson is that one should never allow their super powered cousin to try and set them up, in Superman’s Super Courtship. Next they greet a new member to the Legion in The Boy with the Ultra Powers.
Words cannot completely convey the creepiness of Superman’s Super Courtship, but the guys try really hard. Also in this episode, more Legion news than you can shake a stick at, although really, why would you ever shake a stick at Legion News?

The Legionnaires dig deep to make sense of the history of Mon-El. Up next, we figure out World Peace and the economy.
It starts with a look at some recent Legion news, leading to some speculation as to the future of the Legion (we do have our wishlists!). Then we jump into Superboy 89, and start unravelling the puzzle of the man from Daxam. Lar Gand, Mon-El, Valor, M’Onel and back to Mon-El.
After this you’ll either know it all, or be just as perplexed as the rest of us!

The Legionnaires join in battle against their biggest foe yet: footnoting the first two issues of Legion of Three Worlds.
While Paul struggles to remain coherent, after participating, practically solo, in a 48 Hour Film Festival (he won, by the way!), Darren, Matt and Ric join him in digging into all of the little details of the exciting miniseries written by Geoff Johns, and illustrated in great, obsessive detail by George Perez.
Grab a glass of Silverale, kids, ’cause this one has more detail than Brainiac 5’s Masters Thesis!
