Notes:

• Cover: Part of the Bloodlines series of annuals in summer 1993
• Page 1: zombies indicate this picks up directly from LSH #47, where we saw zombies rising up from the tunnels beneath Talus
• Page 2: Englenna was last seen in issue 42; Drura, Jacques, Lydda (with Pol), Rond in 45; Loomis in 38. It’s hard to tell, but we will see later that’s Rond Vidar holding his daughter Lauren.
• Page 3 panel 5: Brainy was working on a way to retrieve Timber Wolf (where/when he knew) and SW6 Valor (where/when he didn’t know)
• Page 8: Timber Wolf was last seen in his own miniseries. We know he arrived on 6/11/92 and spent a few weeks there.
• Page 21: You think you’ve eliminated the main threat by sending the alien back in time, right? No, that was just the appetizer, you still have Jamm to worry about.
• Page 29: Harlak was last seen in LSH v3 #63, he’s a Khundish magic-user. Tasmia was last seen in LSH v4 Annual 3 on Winath, and Valor was last seen in LSH v4 #36.
• Page 33: Planet Aarok was first mentioned in ADV 312 (but never seen), it was listed on the Legion's interplanetary clock. When it's 1:27 on Earth, it is 5:15 on Aarok. In the Reboot, Aarok is XS’s home planet.
• Page 38: Finally see the SW6 Legionnaires in the “present” time – Legionnaires #6 with the new Fatal Five took place on June 16, today is August 3.

Cutting down the timeline to just the last few entries since it was getting so long. I'm color coding them based on whether the date appeared in the 2995 Sourcebook (yellow; text in yellow is as written in the Sourcebook), 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.

• Wed 7/29/95: Jacques and Drura join the team; Mysa is possessed, and goes to Tharn to confront Mordru (LSH v4 #43), but she is defeated and is absorbed into Mordru. Using this power, he raises armies of the dead in a number of worlds in both UP and Khund space. The Legion agrees to help the Khunds, but they insist that the Legion take on four new Khundish members (LSH v4 #44).
• Sun 8/2/95: The Legion fights Mordru’s zombies on Sklar, Talus, Trom, and in space (LSH v4 #45). On Talus, the Legionnaires fight their own dead, and new Khund Legionnaire Bloodclaw is killed before the team halts Mordru’s magics on the planet. Jan fights the dead Trommites on Pasnic (LSH v4 #46). The Legionnaires bring the fight to Mordru on Tharn, losing the Khund Firefist in the process (LSH v4 #47). The dead on Talus are defeated, but during the fight Timber Wolf returns to the 30th century with Jamm (LSH v4 Ann #4).
• Mon 8/3/95: Jamm takes the Legionnaires on a prodigious trip before being returned to his own time (LSH v4 Ann #4).
