Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #22 - DC


This is the Legion that I've come to love over the years. We got love triangles, alien mysteries, yearly leadership elections, and groupies. First of all, everybody has a crush on Supergirl. "It's that sproggin' little skirt isn't it?", as Shadow Lass would say. She's afraid that her boyfriend Ultra Boy has a crush on her. She doesn't understand why he's so upset that he might not be the strongest anymore. Then Cosmic Boy feels that he might actually have a crush on her because of the way he feels whenever she's around. But, the Invisible Kid figured out that their own EM waves were conflicting with each other, so the closer their proximity, the more uneasy each would feel. Which was a relief for Cosmic Boy, and for Invisible Kid because the latter actually does have a crush on her. Next we have Narchus III which up until a week ago was occupied by 50,000 dominion colonists. Now they're all gone. All that's left is 1 super dominator. He ends up capturing them, and at the end of the book, sending them off to some unknown destination in deep space. We also have Cosmic Boy and Brainiac running for Legion Leader. And the groupies are still gathered day and night outside their headquarters. One of them, with energy weilding powers, almost causes a riot, but instead Cosmic Boy recruits him into the Legion. Meanwhile the Karate Kid sorts out the problems between Shadow Lass and Ultra Boy. Who knew he had a Dr. Phil hidden inside of him? Anyways great book, fantastic writing, and good art. Even if Barry Kitson is only doing the breakdowns, Adam DeKraker is doing a fine job.
