Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century #3 - DC


I assume they're doing this on purpose, but so far this series has followed almost exactly what the cartoon has. This issue was about the recruitment drive for new members. There's one who almost makes the grade, Infectious Lass. But in showing off her powers, she screws up and accidentally switches everyone else's. But at that moment, they are attacked by the Khunds. What ends up saving them is that the Khunds don't know that their powers are switched. So the attack that they had planned, doesn't work out like they had planned. Which is basically what happened in the episode on TV. But . . a little different. What I like about this line of books is that they are specifically geared towards the younger readers. They're simple stories with morals. I also like that they keep the book true to the animated series, rather than the other way around. If this art-form is going to stay viable, is has to connect with the younger audiences. The future readers. And that is what I think this line of books does.
