Sigue la guerra contra los Khunds, donde un malentendido entre guerreros hambrientos de poder trae problemas para la Legion. Además: se están cocinando cosas en la Tierra y nos encontramos con viejos amigos. El equipo creativo habitual sigue desaparecido.
Empezó la guerra contra los Khunds, y la Legion of Super-Heroes se ve obligada a su primera intervención oficial después de su nueva formación. Vuelven un montón de caras conocidas al elenco y varias desconocidas a los créditos artísticos.
The Khunds join the Legion, and together, they all fight a bunch of zombie heroes.
Murray, Paul and Al look at L.E.G.I.O.N. ’91 #26 and we see if they are able to take down the Khunds. All this and Lobo brings a pet home to Legion HQ.

In this week's adventure, the return to Legion Five Years Later continues, with Legion Of Super-Heroes vol. 04 #09. In the Glorithverse, a lot of blanks need to be filled in. And one huge mystery starts getting solved right here in Legion #08 as readers are treated to Laurel's backstory. Honestly, that's all you should need. Start listening now before the Khunds make their move. Side Note: It might be necessary to download this episode directly from the link. The reason for that is because the TTF website and feed have been experiencing significant technical difficulties. We are working to correct these issues right now.

The Subs take a look at Superboy Starring The Legion of Super Heroes #217, as they face Khunds, and Superboy comes face to face with one of his descendants. But before that, they get into a discussion about who Superboy really is!
As Scott and Paul bask in the glory of Olympic Gold, Darren frets about impending snow and Matt sends his postcard for the Flight Ring Drive, the guys dig into Legion of Super Heroes 285. Projectra suddenly ascends to leadership of Orando, and the rest of the Legion deals with those pesky Khunds.
