Legion of Super-Heroes 40 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #40 – “What Starfinger Touches” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque, Dan Jurgens/Mike DeCarlo, Arne Starr

This one starts with a quartet of Legionnaires (Dream Girl, Element Lad, Timber Wolf, and Star Boy) hanging around in orbit outside Earth’s polymer screen (wearing protective space-suits, of course). Apparently, Dream Girl had a vision that someone would attack Earth in this spot, and that Star Boy would be integral to stopping them.

Legion of Super-Heroes 39 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #39 – “The One That Got Away” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque, Curt Swan/Mike DeCarlo, Romeo Tanghal

This one starts with Gigi Cusimano (of the Science Police) contemplating something that’ll change her life. We’re not told exactly what it is, but she’s thinking about settling down, she’s holding what looks like a ring box, and she gets a call from Sun Boy urging her to accept his “once in a lifetime” offer … sounds like a marriage proposal, doesn’t it?

Legion of Super-Heroes 38 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #38 – “The Greatest Hero of Them All” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque/Mike DeCarlo, Arne Starr

This one starts with some Legionnaires (Brainiac 5, Blok, Invisible Kid, Sun Boy, plus Superboy) returning from the present to Superboy’s past in Smallville. They ran into the present-day Superman (in his own title) and found that he isn’t the grown-up version of Superboy as everyone previously thought.

Last issue, the Time Institute suffered an attack that left most of it in a pile of rubble. That, coupled with Cosmic Boy and Night Girl’s report about their sojourn to the late 20th Century (and the changes to the timeline brought about by Crisis), make Brainiac 5 suspect that their old enemy the Time Trapper is planning something big.

Legion of Super-Heroes 36 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #36 – “Peace, Quiet, and Impending Doom” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque/Mike DeCarlo

This one starts with Element Lad resigning as Legion leader, since he feels guilty about becoming Universo’s pawn. The regular election was coming up anyway, so his stepping down doesn’t really cause too much bother. Polar Boy enthusiastically announces he’s running for leader, while Dream Girl says she won’t run but does say she’s voting for Sensor Girl (making everyone wonder if Dreamy had a premonition of who’d win).

Legion of Super-Heroes 35 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #35 – “Forgotten Friends” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque/Mike DeCarlo, Arne Starr

This one starts with Saturn Girl, Chameleon Boy, Brainiac 5, and Dream Girl back on Earth after escaping the prison planet they were on. They grab a Science Police officer so Saturn Girl can use her mental powers to read his mind and find out why Earth has suddenly isolated itself from the rest of the galaxy.

Legion of Super-Heroes 34 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #34 – “Forgotten Foe” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque/Mike DeCarlo

Last issue, Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainiac 5, and Chameleon Boy escaped from the prison planet where they’d been confined and brainwashed. The first planet they come to after escaping is Naltor, Dream Girl’s homeworld, where they’re welcomed by the High Seer (Beren). Turns out they spent weeks on the prison planet and things have changed on Earth in that time, with the Legion being disbanded and their headquarters shut down.
