Stories

  • Saturn Rising · 20 pages

    Back when the Legion consisted of just the founders, the three heroes work with the Science Police to stop Zaryan's automatons from raiding robot manufacturers. Though all three show their inexperience, Saturn Girl decides she has to work to hold her own in physical confrontations alongside the boys. After the mission ends in tragedy and after an indiscretion, Saturn Girl makes two more decisions that will have an impact on her future.

  • Nucleus, Part 2: Atom Strange · 11 pages

    To escape the pathogens in the Calculator's lair, the Atom grabs the villain and heads back to Oracle, who has an antidote prepared. Cornered, the Calculator tells Ray that he was hired by the Colony, but that is all he knows. Meanwhile, Professor Hyatt is visited, via the phone line, by men looking for the white dwarf meteor and wearing the same ant symbol found in Ray's trashed lab.
