This is a cute little book. It's a story about a boy, Floyd, who wants to be a Legionnaire. The problem is, his only power is that his arm is detachable. Not a lot of tactical abilities there. But, he doesn't give up on his dream. Finally, one day he runs away from home and goes to the Legion headquarters so he can try-out. Not necessarily that they're doing try-outs, but . . I guess he thinks he can just crash his way in. Well, as it happens, when he arrives, Star-finger is also there trying to wreak some havoc. So, Arm-Fall-Off-boy throws his arm at Star-finger. Which takes him by surprise. While he's standing there holding it . . Arm-Fall-Off-boy uses the arm to knock him out. They can't let him into the Legion, just because of that, but Dream-girl feels sorry for him so she decides to let him wear a flight-ring. You guessed it . . . his arm floats away. I thought it was a cute book. Like I said, these Johnny DC titles are perfect for kids just getting in to the hobby. They aren't to heavy, and they're usually one issue stories. And, in this case, it's also a great cast of characters. So . . it's got my vote.
