Host Anthony Desiato and guest Chris Clow (The Comic Binge) dig into the unofficial Legion of Super-Heroes trilogy from writer Geoff Johns during the Post-Infinite Crisis era, including:
- “The Lightning Saga,” a crossover between “Justice League of America” (by Brad Meltzer & Ed Benes) and “Justice Society of America” (with artist Dale Eaglesham) that revealed a time-displaced team of Legionnaires scattered throughout the present-day DCU and tasked with a mystery mission;
- “Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes,” the arc from “Action Comics” (with artist Gary Frank) that depicted how Superman’s symbol and legend have been corrupted in the 31st Century; and
- “Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds,” the five-issue miniseries (with art by the late, great George Pérez) that pitted Superboy Prime and his Legion of Super-Villains against the “retroboot” Legion, the post-Zero Hour “reboot” incarnation, and Mark Waid’s “threeboot” team.
