The Subs continue travelling through time with their look at Legion of 3 Worlds issue 3, as well as talking about Adventure Comics 0. It’s a long one, so pack a lunch!
Episode 277 – The Jaws of Fear… We hope!
The Subs make their third attempt at reviewing Superboy Starring THE Legion of Super Heroes #213. This episode has been lost to the time stream twice, so here’s hoping third time is the charm!
Episode 276 – Representing LoSP 4: Legion of 3 Worlds Part 1
After two attempts to record episode 276 were lost in the time stream, the Subs turned to their only hope: The Subs of 2008! The Six Years Ago Subs stepped in with their take on issues 1 and 2 of Legion of 3 Worlds.
Episode 275 – Super Rejects and a Super Guest
The Subs are joined by Legion Omnicom founder Michael Grabois, as they discuss Michael’s first issue, Superboy Starring THE Legion of Super Heroes #212, the issue in which we meet the Legion of Super Rejects (and really, don’t they need a better PR rep). Join in for talk about how 30th Century fashion intersects with what we see on the Skartaris runway, what happened to the missing pages from this issue, and what the second coolest (and coolest) jobs are!
Episode 274 – The Origin of Karate Kid… shh Don’t Tell Giffen!
It’s two issues for the price of one! In this episode, the Subs cover Superboy Starring THE Legion of Super Heroes 210 and 211, as the Legion goes up against Soljer, and Roxxas. In other action, we witness the secret origin of Karate Kid, and learn how the Subs (the other Subs, not us) gained possession of Fortress Lad.
Episode 273 – Crisis Counselling Part 6: 3 Earths, 3 Deaths
Left to their own devices, Darren and Paul once again leap into the anti-matter wave, and bring you another episode of Crisis Counselling. This time, it’s Crisis on Infinite Earths number 6, as we see the universes that would eventually merge to bring us the Post-Crisis DCU, along with the first DCU appearances of many Charlton Action Heroes, and the new Wildcat.
From all of us here at Subs HQ, we wish you a very happy and safe New Year. See you all in 3014!
Episode 272 – Happy Festivus!
With the holidays in full swing, the Subs celebrate the greatest of all holidays: Festivus. This episode lands on the 23rd of December, which is, of course, the day of Festivus!
Join in and hear what each of the Subs will be up to for the holidays. Then, it’s time for the airing of grievances, followed by a commentary track for the place Festivus began: Seinfeld Season 9 Episode 10: The Strike. Find the episode and play along!
Whatever holiday you celebrate, we here at Subs HQ wish you, your families and friends a safe and happy one. From ours to yours, we are Legion!
Long Live the Legion!
Episode 271 – A Princess in Peril
The Subs take a look at Superboy Starring THE Legion of Super Heroes 209, where Karate Kid works to save Princess Projectra, as Jim Shooter makes his first return to the Legion. Also, a Legion Super Fan visits the team to become Hero for a Day. In addition to this, some discussion of Justice League 3000, and the the Legion’s recent mention in Superboy.
Episode 270 – Vengeance of the Super Villains
The Subs take a look at Superboy Starring the Legion of Super Heroes 208, as the Legionnaires face the Legion of Super Villains in their most dastardly plan yet. Also, they explore the history of Jonathan Kent.
Episode 269 – Guess Who’s NOT Coming to Dinner
In this episode, the Subs bid farewell to one of the Legion’s creators. RIP Al Plastino. Then they take a look at a couple of infamous Legion stories, both from Superboy Starring The Legion of Super Heroes 207. The first concerns the whitewashing of Science Police Officer Dvron, and the second, the complete lack of knowledge of established Legion continuity that is Lightning Lad’s Day of Dread.
