Legion of Substitute Podcasters

The Subs get into lively discussions about Lego, The Hobbit, and even some Legion stuff! We take a close look at Legion of Super Heroes 15, as Glorith and the Legion take on dinosaurs!

The Subs ring in the new year by talking about Who’s Who in the Legion of Super Heroes 2. Dr Mayavale, the Fatal Five and Grimbor are among the many characters that they discuss. All of us here at Subs HQ wish you and yours a Happy New Year!

Join the Subs in a laid back Christmas Eve, as they discuss recent Legion news, then talk about their traditions and plans for the holiday. There may even be a Legiony twist on an old favourite Christmas verse.

The Subs take it easy this week, and sit back to watch an episode of Justice League Unlimited, which features the Legion. Even better, you can join in the fun! See the comments at legionofsubstitutepodcasters.com for a link

The Subs take a look at the last story of the Legion in Action Comics, and follow the Legion to Superboy. A look at the fashions of the Legion follows!

The Subs dig into a two parter from the Action run, written by E. Nelson Bridwell, and manage to survive it all. First they explain where the whole Mordru on a Jetski thing came from, and dive into a bit of Facebook Feedback.

The Subs take a look at Legion of Superheroes #14, and then get into talking about Legion villains they’d like to see come back.

The Subs take a look at Action Comics, issues 387 and 389, as the Legion writing chores passed from E Nelson Bridwell to Cary Bates. The guys discuss Cary’s long writing career, and dig into a story that explains the limitations on the size of the Legion roster, and then find out which Legionnaire was tough enough to take on an android foe. All this, plus a Stump the Subs!

The episode starts off with some feedback and general comics discussion, then gets into talk of the Legion Leader Election, just as the campaign goes negative! Then it’s back into the Action run with issues 386, and 387. The Fallen Star Boy, and Zap Goes The Legion. Don’t forget to get your vote in for Legion Leader. They must arrive no later than November 16th, 2012. Legion Election, DC Comics, 1700 Broadway New York, NY USA, 10019. Thanks to Gary Ancheta for the inspiration (and more than half the copy!) for the segment during the election discussion.

The Subs talk about the upcoming Legion Leader Election, then it’s into Action Comics #384, Lament for a Legionnaire, as we meet Mon-El’s descendant, Eltro Gand. Then it’s a look into fandom, at the Legion Outpost, where we learn a theory that would one day become a controversial Legion story, which leads into that very story, from Legion of Super Heroes V4, issue 4. As if Mon-El’s mind wasn’t crowded enough, the Subs need to elbow their way in!

With Matt lost in deep space, two blocks east and 4 blocks north, the Subs take a look at Legion Lost 0 and 13. Tangents abound as the guys do anything to avoid turning the next page.

The Subs take a look at Legion of Super Heroes issues 0 and 13. Then it’s time to talk about the Legion election. Who do you want to lead the Legion, especially with the Fatal Five coming back?

The Subs continue their look at the Action Comics run. Meanwhile, Paul has some big news, Darren has a rant, Ultra Boy uses his tremendous acting abilities and Chameleon Boy has a new secret identity!

As Darren listens to Scott and Paul recover from Canadian Thanksgiving, and Matt battles the Infinite Man in deep space, the Subs soldier on through the Action Comics run. Duo Damsel becomes half a troubled teen, and Matter Eater Lad’s home life takes a turn that we may have heard somewhere before. All this, and a Stump the Subs!

The Subs celebrate 4 years of Legion Podcasting with some trivia, and by starting the Legion’s run in Action Comics.
