I recently picked up Legion: Science Police #1. I wasn't really impressed by it, and after reading it I can't really tell you what it was all about. But did Saturn Girl really quit the Legion for a while there to join the SPs? If so, when did that happen in the continuity of the main titles?

It happened during the Dark Circle story, which was (IIRC) issues 104-106 of the LSH title, and 63-65 of the Legionnaires title. The United Planets were forced to put Durla under quarantine and the only way Legionnaires could get down there was to visibly "quit" the Legion and make Science Police officers of themselves.
IIRC, not only Saturn Girl, but also Sensor, Invisible Kid and Gates went undercover as Science Police officers.

I've heard this as well but have never had it confirmed. Maybe someone here can do so.

And Gates was so traumatised by the experience, he needed to get Tenzil to eat the uniform before he could sleep.

Thanks, Vee. As an AR fan I'd like to get that "appearance" too, if it's there. And what with the Wildstorm universe being a part of the 52 (as I've heard), another Legion may be there too.

Scans have been posted of it on here before, but I can't find them just now.
It's a Supreme/Kid Supreme thing, from or after Alan Moore's reboot, called (google says) the League of Infinity. They're based on a spiral staircase that runs through time, so that at one point Kid Supreme sees his adult self (Supreme) at a different point.

Ah! Thanks, guys. Yeah, I meant the Authority analogues. The League of Infinity and Moore's Supreme was great and loved that title, especially the "retro" art in many issues.

What's in LSHv4 Annual 6? I know it comes right in the middle of the White Triangle story, but is it an important part of that story? The cover suggests it's just a collection of origin stories.
It's not intrinsic to the ongonig storyline, but it does add some background for each, and also shows Shvaugn's shift from reluctant liaison to Legion supporter.

that was the culmination of the White Triangle story... a must-read for that era. (and a decent story, as I recall)
The following issue (LSH, I believe... the cover shows an unhappy Rokk in front of statues of Kid Q 1 and others as I recall) follows immediately on the "surprise" ending of the annual, and a couple new plotlines diverge from that issue and the annual both.

Hmp. Thanks. I suddenly find myself in time-sensitive need of all the issues of the White Triangle story, and I'm missing those annuals as well as a few others. I wonder if the comic shops of Greater Toronto can help me...
