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.

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.

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.

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.”

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 ….?!”
