Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 33 –  The Threeboot vs The Retroboot

We have a look (from a fan’s perspective) at what was happening with the Legion in 2007.  While Supergirl and the Threeboot Legion were busy fighting robots and Dominators…. strange things were happening in the 21st Century.  A Legionnaire joins the JSA.  A woman in a silver suit is chained up in Arkham Asylum.  A new female flying character is introduced on Thanagar.  A feral man races against apes in Gorilla City.  A kick-ass fighting Trident is unmasked.  Computo takes his first victim … or does he?  

What is going on?!  Waid and Kitson may have been asking the same question.

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 32 – The End is Only the Beginning!

All good things must come to an end. Waid and Kitson’s final issue together on the Legion. The Dominator story comes to a dramatic conclusion and a Legionnaire (or is that a Wanderer?) is lost. Your podcasters from the future discuss the contributions Waid and Kitson made to the Legion, Waid’s thoughts on making his Legion accessible and what Waid created next.

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 31 – Extinction Event!

The podcasters from the future are joined by a mystery guest who is very, very familiar.  Is it Gim? Gym? Gym’ll? Jim-El? J’im-el?  No! It’s Jim Purcell! Listen to find out as a thousand years from now, two teams of interstellar savages invade the glorious capital of the Dominator Empire.  It is the latest in a long list of crimes committed by the human carbonforms of Earth against the mighty Dominators.  The only sane response is clear: once and for all, these interstellar freaks of nature must be exterminated.

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 27 – … The Wanderers!

So many names to keep track of as another group of 31st century characters make themselves known.  The drinking game gets a workout as we meet Thoom, Supergirl and Mon-El crash through lots of walls, time is spent is Brainy’s shadowy lab, we get two reimagined Legion siblings and the credits page is invaded by a slew of unfamiliar silhouettes and a new slogan – “It’s time to show the Legion of Super-heroes who’s boss.”

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 26 – From Out of the Phantom Zone!

Your podcasters from the future bring you an episode with yet another hero from the past.  To free him from the Phantom Zone, the legionnaires devise a plan involving the psychic merging of two legionnaires to create someone we’re calling Tymra.

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 25 – … No Place Like Home.

Waid and Kitson are back into their full writer and artist duties for issue 23.  Supergirl wakes up on the planet Rokyn.  A nice call back to Superman and Legion mythos, we’ve seen the planet Rokyn before.  We learn some a bit more about Talok VIII, the homeworld of Shadow Lass and her brother (?) Grev.  The issue ends with yet another connection to the Superman mythos of the 20th century and a cliffhanger that has us asking, “what have you been doing for the last thousand years ….?!”

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 24 – … Call Me Kara

Derek and Brent steer the time bubble back to the 31st century for yet another instalment.  There seem to be a few surprise guests along for the ride.  Supergirl’s electro-“magnetism” is affecting the Legion’s boys and upsetting the some of the girls as well.  Invisible Kid’s infatuation with the girl of steel continues to grow.  Shady gets jealous.  Cosmic Boy gets some insight as do we … into the whereabouts of Sun Boy and the ex-members of Terror Firma.

Tomorrow’s Heroes Today – Episode 23 – Meanwhile One Wednesday …

The time bubble takes a little detour to 2009 as we meet Supergirl (formerly of the Legion of Super-heroes) as she tries to work out what is making Krypto and Streaky the Super-cat more mischievous than usual. Brent and Derek take a look at the hilarious Supergirl strip from Wednesday Comics by Jimmy Palmiotti and JSA Classified and LSH letter column artist, Amanda Conner.
