In a climactic scene from last Sunday’s season 6 premiere of The CW’s DC superhero show
Legends of Tomorrow, a new character who was once abducted by aliens must drink a smoothie made of an alien chrysalis so a bisexual sorcerer can reach out to said alien through space and time to rescue the Legends’ captain, Sara Lance, who has been also been abducted. You see, one of our favorite characters, Gary Green, was secretly an alien all this time. The sorcerer can’t contact Sara, but luckily, her girlfriend can, astral projecting to Sara long enough to say yes to marrying her. And somehow, this is all even weirder than I’ve made it sound.

Superheroes can sometimes feel like they re absolutely everywhere thanks to a variety of TV shows and films, and the result can be legions of happy fans ready to go along for the ride. At the same time, superheroes across the large and small screens can also be somewhat exhausting, even for superhero fans in general, and especially if you re plugged into pop culture. The good news? The CW has a show that showcases some fantastic heroes while also serving as an ideal cure for superhero fatigue: the time-traveling
Legends of Tomorrow.
Now, I know that the very concept of superhero fatigue can be divisive, with some people not believing that it s real at all, some not only believing it but feeling it sometimes, and some just wondering why anybody exhausted by superheroes doesn t just stop paying any attention to superhero movies and TV shows. Which: valid point. But as a completist who happened to start in some current superhero universes pretty earl
…the Super Sons and Aurora.
Superboy wants to take a stand, but…
…gets woozy presumably from the magic, but Aurora casts her own spell on Faust…
…resulting in Savage taking matters into his own hands quite literally.
The Super Sons are ready to take on Savage and Faust, but are literally in the fire as…
…the Justice League…
The book ends with Super Sons pleased with themselves as…
…their future selves are content having finishing telling this story to their respective grandchildren.
The Pulse:
This series has been a fun romp story-wise, but uneven art-wise at times. This issue’s art complemented the story. Not keen on the Justice League making the save, but that’s a minor quibble.
…over two issues of what has gotten us to today.
No longer in the past, the Super Sons are home and the present era’s Felix Faust and Vandal Savage scheme like their past selves.
The Doom Scrolls shows that the Super Sons are targeted next, but…
…that page on the scroll begins to fade and…
…fade as an…
…the past incarnations of Faust and Savage are in tow?!
The Doom Scroll page is fully blank now and…
…Superboy burns it and seemingly sends Faust and Savage back to the past from where they came…
…with the present day Faust and Savage ready to strike!
