This issue is like the preliminary issue for the "Search for Cosmic Boy" story-line. We have a few things to wrap up from the last story-line, with the Dominators and the techno-virus that paralyzed the Earth. We also have the leader election to worry about. But we don't have to worry about that anymore. Or . . . has the worrying just begun. The new Legion leader is . . . . Supergirl. Supergirl? But as Mekt so uncaringly points out, " . . . the winner of a popularity contest voted on by a quarter-million underagers!" But Brainiac 5 jumps on her bandwagon right away. The question is, is he actually trying to help her, or pushing her towards his own agenda because he thinks she'll be more pliable that Cos was? Well whatever the case, he's already helped her to make the decision to split up in to 3 teams and go off in search of Cos. Brainiac 5 has narrowed it down to 3 possible locations. And there's a bit of a question as to the members of each team, as they aren't the most diplomatic choices. Next issue when the Quest truly begins, we'll find out where our teams, and the story, goes from here. I'm really sorry to see Mark Waid and Barry Kitson leave this title. They really helped form a great foundation, for this incarnation, with the first 30 issues of this series. I knew we couldn't keep them forever. I'm just glad we got what we got. Anyways, Tony Bedard is the writer. And Kevin Sharpe is the penciller. I don't believe either of them have been associated with the Legion before. It should prove to be an interesting union. I just hope they're as brilliant as our previous creative talent. You got big shoes to fill!
