  • Long Live the Legion of Substitute Podcasters!

    The LoSP is my favorite podcast, not just because they discuss my favorite comic book The Legion of Super-Heroes, but they are entertaining as heck! Better than Matter-Eater Lad and Polar Boy vs. Evillo! Pour yourself a drink and listen to the LoSP every week. Five Stars!!

  • Threeboot what a hoot!

    Downunder Derek and Bonza Brent’s Aussie escape to the future is breathing new life into Waid and Kitson’s Legion almost 20 years after its release. Loving the time bubble shenanigans and banter between the original LoSP and these substitutes from across the international dateline. Fosters cans!? Seriously Paul? Have you ever tasted one?

  • The Mystery of the Mystery Episodes!

    I recently discover the show and I’m have a great time pouring through the episodes. I try to read the issue before I listen or read along with the episode. Both are great ways to listen. However, I’m noticing many episodes are missing! Could this be the dastardly work of Dr. Regalus? Perhaps another plunder ploy of the Fatal Five? It’s time to call in the Subs! We need the missing episodes so we can find out the true story of The Magic War pouches! Thanks!
