The sun is going to be eaten by the improbably named Sun Eater. The heroes get together to stop it!

Special guest Mo Walker joins Derek and Brent as they and some Legion teens explore the notion of Crisis. 

A mysterious stranger lurks among the teens and has a very strong resemblance to a few past LSH characters.  The teens recount a story of the silver age LSH meeting Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and Alan Scott and the Flashes, Jay Garrick and Barry Allen. 

In a second story the Secret Society of Super Villains meet Karate Kid and the LSH.  Finally the Crisis on Infinite Earths hits and Sensor Girls and Quislet among others interfere with the Anti Monitor’s cosmic cannon.  None of this happened you say?  Hmm … perhaps not. 

The Subs take a look at some of the lead-in stories to Final Night. Showcase 96 #10, Preview to Final Night, and Sergio Aragones Destroys DC.

The kids grow up a bit as the UP invite them into a partnership.  Atom Girl settles the score with Invisible Kid and invites him for a drink!  Lightning Lad assumes the leadership of the Legion.  Brainy, Cos and Sun Boy are all off the table.  Reflecto makes an appearance, but perhaps not a Reflecto we have seen before.  Amanda Conner continues to draw the letter column with lots of chuckles provided by her and Mark Waid.

Legionnaires get stuck in the past and meet Superman!

So the Earth is Dead, and there’s this new Captain Marvel who will eventually become a Legionnaire.

How? Let’s all take the first step together!

Cosmic Boy, Brainiac 5 and … Sun Boy defeat the elusive Praetor Lemnos and his hoards of agents of Terra Firma.  Parallels are drawn between these Otherspace  grandchildren of criminals and Derek and Brent’s own convict history in Terra Australis.  As the issue closes Brainiac 5, like Mr Freeze before him, visits his love in a cryotube as he  continues to search for a way to save Dream Girl. We also discuss a series of flashbacks appearing in a backup story where Nura gets serious foreboding of her own demise.  The comical Legion Outpost letter column returns and is drawn by guest artist, Amanda Conner!

It’s time for a Legends of the Dead Earth Annual. This one features Wildfire leading a Legion in the 75th century. The issue leads to a discussion of themed Annuals, how well they work and what they ultimately mean. We also get one of the more controversial Stump the Subs questions in a while (I think they’re still talking about it in our group thread while I post this).

The Threeboot keeps getting wilder as total war against Terra Firma is about to break out.  Lightning lad and Saturn Girl almost kiss.  Projectra and Brin Londo do kiss.  The public service becomes Legion Channel One.  Karate Kid observes “You can lead a Rimborian to water, but you can’t make him think!”   And look out Elysian, it’s Atom Girl “bursting” onto the scene.

The Legion is back after their time as the Emerald Legion, but some of their members are missing, and another is laid to rest.
