Legion of Substitute Podcasters

Darren and Paul talk about part 3 of The Death of Superboy as Superman and Superboy haul off in a battle that can only end in death… or in coming together and figuring out what’s actually going on. You know, like all super hero team ups do. Action Comics 591 is the issue, and exposition is the game!

Darren and Paul are joined by Josh Wilson of the Oncoming Storm Podcast, as we dig further into the Pocket Universe Saga, with an awesome tribute to the beginnings of the Legion’s involvement with Superboy.

Darren and Paul look back at the  Greatest Hero of Them All storyline, as the Legion sought to break ties with its inspiration. Also a discussion of Rebirth, the real reason Gardner Fox left DC and the  death of E Nelson Bridwell.

It’s election time! Darren and Paul take a look at the aftermath of The Universo Project. The Legion clean up after the mess Universo left, and pick a new leader!

Paul is possessed by the spirit of New Adventures of Superboy issue 2 as he recounts two titanic tales of the Boy of Steel! The Demon Next Door, and The Day of the Explosive Element.

Darren and Paul finally get around to finishing Legends, the 1986 miniseries that set the tone for the Post-Crisis DC Universe. It all goes well until Darren brings up Bloodwynd!

In this first ELECTRIFING (typo intentional) episode of The Superboy Chronicles, hop into the time bubble with Paul as we go way back to 1967 to celebrate Superbly’s 16th birthday. It’s a great party, but hey, what’s with the extra candle on the cake? This and more will be revealed!

It’s time for the conclusion of The Universo Project! It’s Legionnaire vs Legionnaire as Universo pulls all the strings! So long Starman, so long Snape. RIP.

Darren, Scott and Paul take a look at the third issue of The Universo Project, discuss recent articles on the Legion’s return, or lack thereof, and why we never got a buddy cop book starring Dream Girl and Saturn Girl.

Darren and Paul bring the first episode of 2016! It’s time for Chapter 2 of The Universo Project. Now that Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainy and Cham have been freed of their mental shackles, where do they go from here? Also, how are the other teams faring in their missions?

Paul takes a look at the first appearance of Nightwing and Flamebird from Superman 158, January 1963, in a story by Legion favourites Edmond Hamilton and Curt Swan. Learn how Superman and Jimmy Olsen became the Batman and Robin of Kandor, and how New Krypton wasn’t the first story to deal with the idea of a large population of superpowered Kryptonians on Earth. They just did it longer… a LOT longer!

Darren and Paul celebrate a Very Subs Christmas by providing the commentary nobody ever wanted for the Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special. (Join in the fun with us by going here: Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special ). We wish everyone out there in Subs Land a very happy and safe holiday season! Thank you all for your support over the years!

Darren and Paul are joined by Thomas Lanese to discuss the first chapter of The Universo Project. What is happening to the Legionnaires, and how is Saturn Girl the only one that can save them?

Darren and Paul take a look into the past of the future, as Sensor Girl tells a story of her early days as a Legionnaire, as she, Karate Kid and Ferro Lad sought to prove themselves.

Paul flies solo this week, while the rest of the Subs recover from turkey comas. This week, we look at a story that predates the Legion (but really, don’t they all?) from Superboy #47, March 1956. Superboy accidentally travels to the future, and meets his adult self! Hilarity ensues!
