Posted on by Paul

Cosmic Boy, Brainiac 5 and … Sun Boy defeat the elusive Praetor Lemnos and his hoards of agents of Terra Firma.  Parallels are drawn between these Otherspace  grandchildren of criminals and Derek and Brent’s own convict history in Terra Australis.  As the issue closes Brainiac 5, like Mr Freeze before him, visits his love in a cryotube as he  continues to search for a way to save Dream Girl. We also discuss a series of flashbacks appearing in a backup story where Nura gets serious foreboding of her own demise.  The comical Legion Outpost letter column returns and is drawn by guest artist, Amanda Conner!

It’s time for a Legends of the Dead Earth Annual. This one features Wildfire leading a Legion in the 75th century. The issue leads to a discussion of themed Annuals, how well they work and what they ultimately mean. We also get one of the more controversial Stump the Subs questions in a while (I think they’re still talking about it in our group thread while I post this).
