This issue is part of a 6 issue story arc that takes place in the Post-Zero Hour era. I only have this one issue of the six, but the events of #79 are definitely taking place contemporaneously with other comics published at the same time.

Within the story, post-Zero Hour Linda Danvers switches places (I don't know how from this issue) with (maybe) Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El, winding up on a world that is Earth-1-like and Pre-Crisis-like, with some events paralleling Pre-Crisis events. Her rocket lands on Earth, Superman discovers her and she tells him she is his cousin from Argo City, although this is a lie. Superman sees through the deception but sees that her heart is true and eventually marries Linda. Doesn't sound like any Pre-Crisis history that I have ever seen. Meanwhile, the real Kara is back in Post-Zero Hour continuity fighting a villain who thinks she is Linda/Supergirl.

The Colossal Boy attending Linda's marriage to Superman is dressed in the Pre-Crisis uniform, but I would say the entire thing is some kind of Otherworlds event.

I think this image is more appropriately categorized as Post-Zero Hour. -- Gopher 09:04, 7 December 2006 (PST)

After rereading it (I have the arc, but hadn't read it in a cople of years), I'd semi-agree with you, in that Elseworlds (or "Otherworlds" as you put it) is probably more appropriate - I'd forgotten the detail. OTOH, it's certainly NOT related to the Post-ZH Legion, since the only Legionnaire involvement is based on the Pre-Crisis LoSH, and it's the Legion content that matters. (Ergo the Post-IC cats including issues from 2005). - Reboot (SoM) talk page 17:21, 7 December 2006 (PST)
