• On sale 5/12/92
• It's OK, I'm a Senator: https://itsokimasenator.livejournal.com/16601.html
• Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 608 (June 8, 2020)
• Timeline: 4/23/95 and 4/30-5/2/95

  Notes:

• This is the second story in the issue. The first one covered Timber Wolf on Talus in 2995 and Earth in 1992.
• Page 28 panel 1: To set the stage: this is late April 2995. Blok was killed on 11/21 but his body wasn’t delivered to Winath by Roxxas until 11/27 (issue #3), and everyone gathered on Winath (presumably for the funeral) on 12/3 when Roxxas attacked (issue #10).
• Page 28 panel 3: Recall that Dacey and Doritt were born on April 13 (issue #20).
• Page 28 panel 7: We now know this is a flashback to sometime before the first story in this Annual, since they say Brin isn’t going to make it more than a few days. According to the Sourcebook, Brin and Aria leave on 4/30.
• Page 28 panel 9: The christening for the twins will be “next week”. We already have a few days gap in the timeline between Wed 4/22 (end of Quiet Darkness, BION finds and fights adult Laurel, SW6 and Devlin escape the tunnels and meet Universo in New Mexico, and Weisinger chambers captured, in issues #24, 25, and 26) and Sat 4/25 (Legionnaires in Resistance find out about SW6 Legion, BION subdued on Talus, and Dirk’s pod discovered, in issues #27-28). So Thurs 4/23 or Fri 4/24 fits.
• Page 29: it’s “next week”. Day 1 on Winath (April 30). Shuttle #1 arrives with Lydda, Rond & Lauren, Ayla, and Proty II. Imra, Garth, Graym, and Mekt are there.
• If Rokk is here, that makes this May 1 since he was on Talus on April 30 (as noted in issue #30), but as we'll see, too many days are shown in this issue for this to be May 1st. However, if we assume Rokk is actually not here and just disregard his presence in that one panel, we can move this up a day to April 30. Since the rest of the Talus gang arrive the next day, let’s just pretend that Rokk isn’t actually there now because that makes the timeline fit. There's other stuff happening on April 30 too, as we'll track below.
• Ayla was last seen in LSH v4 #20
• Vi was last seen in LSH v4 #20
• Rond was last seen in LSH v4 #29
• Lydda was last seen in LSH v4 #20 
• Proty II was last seen in Son of Ambush Bug #5 (though this is arguably non-canonical since Ambush Bug is involved)
• Mekt was last seen in LSH v4 #11 after being injured by Roxxas
• Page 30: Imra sees Garth and a bunch of mini-Protys at night. We only know of one (Proty II), so who are the others? Hmmm...
• Page 31: Day 2 on Winath, Shuttle #2 arrives (May 1). Projectra, Gim, Yera, Nura (with Tab), Cham, Kent, and Garridan. The presence of Cham and Kent suggest that Rokk, Kono, Jo, and Loomis also came in on this ship, since they are all seen later. The presence of Garridan suggests that he either came from Quarantine to Talus (while Jeckie, Gim, Yera, and Nura came there as well, separately or together) or that they had to swing by Quarantine to get him on their way to Winath since at 10 years old he's probably not old enough to travel alone. Brainy, Celeste, and Laurel are the only ones from Talus who did not come to Winath (perhaps Laurel wasn't healed enough to leave).
• Projectra was last seen in LSH v4 #18 after the Dark Circle tried to kill her
• Gim was last seen in LSH v4 #13 on Quarantine when Persuader attacked
• Yera was last seen in LSH v3 #58
• Nura was last seen in LSH v4 #3 (not counting issue #22 where we heard her voice mail or issue #28 where she appeared in flashback)
• Garridan was last seen in LSH v4 #13 on Quarantine
• Graym was last seen in LSH v4 #10 on Winath
• Page 32: this reminder of how Proty I sacrificed himself for Garth (ADV #312) is there for foreshadowing. Unfortunately, it is as subtle as a brick, and it's something that Imra has never brought up before. I can only think of one time (LSH v3 #45, the 40th anniversary spotlight on Lightning Lad) when even he brought it up.
• Page 33 panel 3: Kent tells Ayla about Brin, establishing that this is after the first story in this issue
• Page 33 panel 6: that’s Chuck and Luornu in the back with Imra and Garridan
• Chuck and Lu last seen in LSH v4 #18 after the Khund invasion of Xolnar
• Page 35 panel 3: Nura asks about Mysa, Kono said she “went off on some treasure hunt or something” a couple weeks ago (April 13, issue #20).
• Page 35 panel 7: We found out that Yera replaced Vi in LSH v2 #305
• Page 36 panel 1: Ayla and Vi think that Bounty is Dawnstar
• Page 36 panel 2: Wildfire is gone (missing in Black Dawn), Quislet is gone (left back in LSH v3 #51, never returned), Brek is on Tartarus (last seen on 12/27 in issue #14)
• Page 36 panels 7-8: Cham, Loomis, and ogling the girls, using binoculars
• Page 36 panel 9: Holt and Mekt (miscolored hair)
• Page 37 panels 1-3: Jo has hooked up with Nura
• Page 37 panels 4-6: Yera, Nura, Shady, Jeckie ogling the guys, using binoculars
• Shady last seen in LSH v4 #23 on Altair when Valor leaves her behind
• Page 38 panel 2: Imra in her pink bikini; Garth being a “brash, self-centered daredevil” is a retcon, he was not like that in the Adventure era
• Page 38 panel 5: Garth, Rokk, and Rond bonding over diapers
• Page 39 panel 2: The Naltor Dreamers were a Moopsball team first mentioned in ADV 366. Jo, Kent, Gim, Yera, Ayla, Vi, Garth, Garridan, Graym, Nura, Tab, Jeckie, Kono at the ballpark with Thom and wife Yvyya
• Page 40 panels 1-3: discussion of the old Legion romances, the fact that not all of them stuck together makes sense when you recall that they were all late teens to early 20s, and not every high school-era relationship lasts. 
• Who did last? Garth/Imra, Shady/Valor, Chuck/Lu, Rokk/Lydda
• Who didn’t last? Brin/Ayla, Nura/Thom, Brainy/Laurel
• Special mention: Jeckie/Val, Jo/Tinya, Wildfire/Dawnstar (one partner in each pair died or went missing), and Gim/Yera (one not a Legionnaire)
• Page 40 panel 4: Yera is trying to avoid Vi, Gim is kind of rude to Vi about it
• Page 41 panel 3: Chuck, Lu, Rokk, Imra, and Proty II in the statue garden; Don and Dawn executed 3/27 (issue #17), Marella Tao killed in early April (issue #18), Gym’ll killed in the explosion of Luna on 4/11 (issue #19).
• Page 41 panel 4: Jed and Berta (aka Power Boy and Nightwind) killed during the Khundish invasion of Xolnar on 3/22 (issue #17)
• Page 41 panel 8: it’s a Legionnaire statue (with an SW6 costume), and WHO THE HELL IS THAT? We’ll find out in a couple issues.
• Page 42 panels 8-9: Tenzil has hooked up with both Nura and Jeckie
• Page 43 panel 2: back to the Terra Mosaic for a moment, while Cham and Rokk check in with Valor and King Jonn
• Page 44 panels 1-3: Group 1 (Kent, Jo, Loomis, Ayla, Vi) at a dive bar
• Page 44 panels 4-6: Group 2 (Yvyya, Thom, Nura, Tab, Yera, Gim, Holt, Mekt, Kono) at a disco, Kono isn’t happy
• Page 44 panels 7-9: Group 3 (Garth, Imra, Lydda, Rokk, Lu, Chuck, Graym, Garridan, Rond, Lauren) at the Ranzz residence, joined by Kono
• Page 45 panels 1-3: Group 4 (Cham, Proty II, Tellus, Jeckie, Shady) at a fancy restaurant, joined by Kono
• Tellus was last seen in LSH v3 #63 at the end of the Magic Wars (not counting his flashback in Dirk’s memories in LSH v4 #28)
• Page 45 panel 6: Luornu flirts with Gim, right after Yera leaves (that has to be Yera, despite what Tom Bierbaum says in IOKIAS, since Lu is back at the Ranzz place)
• Page 45 panel 9: Kono has joined Group 1, Kent thinks Brainy knows more about Brin than he’s letting on (which he does)
• Page 46: pre-dawn on Winath day 3 (May 2), we see the six mini-Protys merge into one: it’s super mecha anime Voltron Proty! Vi and Ayla spot Gim and “Luornu” in the water, thinking it’s really her and not Yera
• Page 47 panels 3-4: foreshadowing of maybe something going on with Luornu and her “multiple personalities”?
• Page 47 panel 5: “rumors about Lu and Valor” may have stemmed from whatever took the place of the Mordru in the 20th century story (ADV 367), since we saw Lu have the hots for Superboy in that story; also remember that Lu was a part of the Conspiracy against Glorith
• Page 51 panel 9: way to make the day all about you, Lydda!
• Page 53: Garth and the mini-Protys, overheard by Ayla saying that he’s really Proty I in Garth’s body. “Garth and the Mini-Protys” is my new band name. 
• Page 53 panel 8: Who or what is Kid Quantum?
• Page 54 panel 2: Ayla says “I was never really fooled” except that not once in the last 40+ years of publishing history did she ever mention anything remotely like it. I call BS.
• Page 55 panel 9: Rokk and Lydda’s baby was born, in stable condition
• Page 56: night, Garth tries to tell Imra but he can’t. There’s no way that one of the strongest telepaths in the galaxy doesn’t know her husband intimately, even from back when they were just kids. I call BS.
• Reconciling the timeline: If you’ll recall, in issue #30 we saw Rokk and Cham discuss with Valor his mission to Earth after Wellington’s death, which was shown in the comic to be on 4/30. According to the Sourcebook, Timber Wolf and Aria also leave on 4/30. That means that both scenes set on Talus – Rokk, Cham, and Valor (issue #30); and Kent, Brainy, Kono, Jo, Celeste, Aria, and Brin in part 1 of this issue – take place on the same day, presumably on different parts of Talus. The Sourcebook also says that Pol Jath Krinn is born on May 2. (Also recall that I had to assume that Rokk isn't really there on page 31, in order to make this fit.)
• Prologue on page 1 takes place prior to Brin’s disappearance, with enough time to hold the christening “next week”. 
• Side note: if Jacques found out about the SW6 Legion on 4/25, why has he not reached out to the other adult Legionnaires in the week or so since?
• Day 1 (4/30): Shuttle #1 arrives on Winath. That night, Imra sees Garth with Proteans.
• Day 2 (5/1): Shuttle #2 arrives on Winath. Baseball game, everyone goes out for the night. Garth meets the Proteans again pre-dawn.
• Day 3 (5/2): the Ranzz twins christening, Pol’s birth, Ayla finds out about Garth, Garth tries to tell Imra at night. 
• Current or former Legionnaires not present on Winath for the christening:
• On Talus, probably: Brainy and Celeste, with Laurel
• On Earth: Valor, Bounty, and Jan (each on a mission); Jacques, Tyroc, Tenzil (with the Resistance in Africa)
• “Off on some treasure hunt or something”: Mysa
• On Tartarus: Brek
• Presumed dead: Tinya, Wildfire, Dirk
• Whereabouts (or whenabouts) unknown: Quislet, Brin
• From one perspective, the whole Proty/Garth thing makes sense, if you assume that the machine that brought Mon-El back to life (and stuck Eltro Gand in his body) was the same one that was used to bring Lightning Lad back to life. I get that. But one of the worst things about this run is their taking 20 year old fan fiction and turning it into canon. But like Dr Ian Malcolm said, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
• Top 3 all-time worst retcons or just bad ideas in this series, ranked:
• 3: Sun Boy fails as a Legionnaire and joins Earthgov
• 2: wait til you see issue 31
• 1: Garth Ranzz revealed to have been Proty I all along

Here's what we know of the timeline to date. I'm color coding them based on whether the date appeared in the 2995 Sourcebook (yellow), it's a confirmed date that was given in the comic (green), or an estimated date based on keeping track of events and days (cyan). Bold text is something new added this issue. Italics are unknown dates.
