episode 23 - Superman 157

Hi again! I (Adriana) have recovered from my ebola-swine-bird-flu! The long wait is over! And don't worry, we have a really amazing... oh. Wait, we're being told this issue is horrible. The Legion is BARELY in it. And it is the summation of all our "L. L." sadness. This might be the Worst Episode Ever!

Here's that picture I mentioned that is basically an illustration from one of our previous episodes where we discussed the "complexities" of Smallville.

Edit- Jesus! the episode uploaded was all messed up, thanks to trevor for telling us! Fixed. I will warn you that the sound is still weird sounding, we are going to sit down and figure out what the problem is!! With...sitting.

Some Stats:
Statues? Yes. MADE OF DIAMOND.
Tunneling? Yes.
Misuse of Powers? Out of control Lightning used in lieu of flash bulbs
Superman defeated by annoying friends? Yes: Jimmy, Lois, and Lana. I'd even say Perry was kind of a dick in this too.
L-L usage? Off the charts. We don't have equipment strong enough to measure these L. L.'s!!

episode 22 - Adventure Comics 301

Hi again! Stronger than ever, we return! This time with the Secret Origin of Bouncing Boy!! A fan favorite even if he's one of our least favorites. Also in this issue is a story about Clark Kent and Lex Luthor... as cell-mates. I shit you not. Some really nice art is in that too, I might do a side-post about it some time. This is also a tryout issue and the first appearance of Storm Boy!

And yes, it's "starscream", not "starscreamer". We forgot to talk about it, but we included a scan of the amazing letters column from this issue that features the editor picking on a fat child (mixed messages much??) and someone whining that Bizarros rock harder than Legion. I will find you, Wendell Evans of Boston Mass. I will find you and fight you.

episode 21 - Superboy 100

Hey, Super Future Listeners! Another exciting adventure! Except not really! Hahaha, horrible Pete Ross issue! The sound on this episode sucks, the management sincerely apologizes. I have no idea what happened there, I'm actually worried I destroyed the mic somehow with my brutish hands. We're not supposed to sound like shrieking horrors in the night. In this episode, listen as we're attacked by massive insects and car sounds!

As a bonus, here's a link to a summary of Pete's first appearance, I didn't want to clutter up our Legion purity with a Pete Ross post so I popped it onto my blog.

episode 19 - Adventure Comics 300

Hi again! This issue, if you can't tell by the cover, Mon-el joins the Legion! Finally, an issue that's Legion to the extreme!

it has since come to our attention that you can see an infection with an x-ray. but we still maintain that superboy would have no idea what a chest infection looks like. superboy has the same doctorate that Doctor Barbie does: a fake one.

Ok. So, I promised a link to my SuperFuture list that I'm using. Probably the best resource out there is this website from Jo and Teri-Anne Sanning. We're very indebted to their laudable and feverish feat of nerdery, so I'll link them up on the side.
