In this episode, Matt, Darren, Scott and Paul review Adventure Comics 342 and 343. In these issues, Star Boy becomes the Legionnaire who killed, Color Kid gets a cameo, the Super Pets, complete with Comet the Super Horse, and newly anointed Super-LOLCat, Streaky. Then, we take a front row seat as Scott stays up WAY past his bedtime to introduce The Luck Lords.
All this, the announcement of a new Stump The Subs contest, Darren’s planning and preparation for Dragon-Con and some Listener Feedback.
In this episode, Darren, Matt, Scott and Paul discuss the two-part Computo story, Scott and Paul recount their Toronto Fan Expo adventures and take a look at the life of artist Curt Swan.
Thrill to the woofer-eyes of Computo, laugh at Brainiac 5’s clever quips, and cry as Triplicate Girl becomes Duo Damsel. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’ll become a part of you, and you’ll love it more than Cats (the play, not your own cats, you should love them just fine on their own).
In this episode, Darren, Matt, Scott and Paul review Adventure Comics 338 and 339. The Legion battles the Time Trapper at last! After all this waiting, we learn that the Time Trapper was Snidely Whiplash in this timeline. We also meet Glorith, who will become a much more important character later on. Then it’s on to the Menace of Beast Boy, with more space animal escapes than you can poke a Durlan Poking Stick at.
All this, and another attempt to Stump The Subs!

Finally, the time bubble lands in the 20th Century, reuniting the Timelost Subs with their families and friends, just in time for Klordny Week. There are, however, subtle changes in the timeline. In this continuity, Paul now has a daughter, Darren has a new computer, Matt has a new case of Con Crud, and Scott is drinking beer instead of scotch!
Despite all of these changes, the Subs discuss the Chicago Comicon, the Secret Origin of Fortress Lad, Adventure Comics #1, the art of Francis Manapul (and Agnes Garbowska!), The Weddings that Wrecked the Legion, from Adventure Comics #337, and where to find us on The Twitter!
All this AND we officially welcome a new Legionnaire into the fold!
Special Thanks to The Legion Wiki for the information on Klordny.
In this episode, Starfinger strikes! It’s a Legion 2-parter from Adventure Comics 336-337, in which the Legion meets a foe that is more than just a “third rate nuisance”. Starfinger strikes, and everyone is afraid very afraid! Also in this episode, the first installment of “Substitute Theatre” as the timelost Subs make their way home.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Darren, Matt and Paul continue their analysis of An Eye For An Eye. Up this time, Legion of Super Heroes 3 and 4. The Super Villains tighten their grasp on the Legion, and a Legionnaire dies!
Watch as the Subs head off on all sorts of tangents, wax nostalgic over old video game ads, and mourn the loss of a great hero.
