Reboot Review 18: Legion of Super-Heroes #75 & Legionnaires #32 (Dec. 1995)

On this episode of Reboot Review, I'll be providing a recap and commentary to the 2 Legion-related issues tying into DC Comics' 1995 line-wide x-over event, Underworld Unleashed!

21 years ago, the villains of the DCU were unleashed (as the name suggests) on the earth - and on the timestream!  This event - where heroes took on some unfamiliar foes - provided some interesting match-ups, not the least of which was the Legion facing off against old Atom enemy, Chronos!

In these issues we also see the (near) return of the timelost XS, and the introduction of a couple of important supporting characters.  If you're so inclined:

Will Valor finally be released from the Stasis Zone?  Which old Superboy villain has survived 1000 years only to confront his foe and the Legion on a distant planet?  How will Superboy and the Legion fare against the Philosopher's Stone?  Believe me, this ain't Hogwarts!  To find out the answers to these questions and more, you can:

Reboot Review 12: Legion of Super-Heroes #71 & Legionnnaires #28 (Aug. 1995)

Tragedy strikes the 30th Century in this episode of I'm the Gun's Reboot Review! I continue my recapping of the adventures of the Legion of Super-Heroes, as the team begins taking the fight to the specist group, The White Triangle - but that horribly misguided group takes the violence to the next level, and an entire world pays the price! Plus, the introduction of (possibly) a new team member!
