Scott and Paul meet up in a pub at the end of the world to discuss a satirical look at the Legion in Marshall Law: Secret Tribunal!
The headquarters are ready to burst as all four Subs are in the house and are joined by Murray Fox. The gang takes a look at a bunch of current stories in comics news, including the big Convergence news. All this, and a live Stump The Subs!
It’s a full house this week, as Darren and Paul are joined by *gasp* Scott, whose containment suit was finally fixed, as well as Tales From the Longbox’s Murray Fox! The guys dig into Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes Convergence #2. The Atomic Knights, led by Rick Grimes… er, Gardner Grayle aren’t backing down, and they figure they can mess with Superboy and the Legion. Hilarity ensues!

When Long Weekend Schedules conspire to defeat the Subs, it’s Paul’s box of Superboy comics to the rescue. Do you think the Legion were the only heroes from the future that Superboy met? In fact, it used to be a regular thing for the young Kal-El to either travel through time and meet other heroes, or he would meet them in the years before they became heroes, and as with the Legion, would provide them with some inspiration in their heroic ways. Here is one such tale, from The New Adventures of Superboy, issue 13, when Clark meets a boy born without fear.
With Darren felled by Con Crud, Matt in deep space, and Scott trying to integrate a new critter into the family, Paul is left to his own devices. This leads him to take a look at Superboy’s old pal, and honorary Legionnaire, Pete Ross. Who created him? How did he meet Superboy (vol 1, issue 86)? How did he discover Superboy’s secret identity (vol 1 issue 90)?
All will be answered!
Darren and Paul are joined by Josh Wilson, from The Oncoming Storm Podcast (see our website for a link to the show), to discuss Josh’s beloved, and frequent Subs punching bag, Mr. Jo Nah, aka Ultra Boy. Join them as they discuss some of their favourite Ultra Boy stories, one at a time, of course!
With Scott on a mission in deep space, the Subs call in a reservist to help them out. They’re joined by the inventor of the Regina Pile, Logan Drydale, as they find their way through the strange world of Convergence.
Darren and Paul attack the final issue of the Cosmic Boy miniseries. The Time Trapper is up to something, and Cosmic Boy and Night Girl have their minds set on stopping him!
Darren and Paul fight the Time Trapper’s stranglehold on Skype, and take a look at Cosmic Boy issue #3. Get that flux capacitor fluxing and join in the fun!
While the guys take a well-deserved Easter break, we look back to an interview we did with Chris Roberson back in August of 2011, where we discussed his, at the time, forthcoming Legion of Super Heroes Star Trek mini series. He discussed his prior work, including the many times he was able to work Legion references into his work. Hope you have all had a great Easter, Passover, or any of the other celebrations that occur at this time of year!
