Legion of Super-heroes in the 31st Century #14 - DC


This was an interesting issue. It was mostly about Phantom Girl. Or . . more specifically . . it was about a teen-age girl that belongs to a group of kids. Her mother loves her, but she doesn't agree with, or respect the group that she belongs to. I think, as with most successful parents, she wants her to eventually lead the life that she, as her mother, has chosen. But, as with this same situation, probably 90% of the time . . that doesn't happen. Especially from a teen-ager's point of view. Phantom Girl sees a threat to her mother, the President. But she can't get her to take it seriously, or even believe her. Eventually things happen that make her believe . . and in that knowledge she realizes that she's proud of her daughter, no matter what she does. I think it was a good book, and had a nice little lesson for the younger readers. As I've said, I buy this book and Teen Titans Go! for my nephew. He loves them. And, up until he got this, or saw the cartoon on TV, he had no idea who the Legion was. It also helped, I think, when he got the toys in his Happy-Meal at McDonald's. Anyways, now he loves them. And at the age of 7, he's already got a small box of comic-books put together.
