They look like young teenagers...which they would be, given the timeframe?

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

I like what I see so far. The art is ok in my opinion, let's give this guy a chance. I too enjoy seeing Lyle again. The enthusiasm coming from the young Legion is awesome! I commend Paul on his fine writing abilities. The dialogue and attitudes of this younger Legion contrast well with those displayed in the parent book.

Love his first page interpretation of Violet, and it's great to see Lyle in action.
Cham's smile seems odd to me, and Lyle's strange Liefield-esque shouting-face when he's presumably asking a question relatively calmly and quietly (since they are *sneaking aboard an enemy ship*) is a little off.
The face Violet is making on the second page, 'Besides giving them a laugh?' looks creepy strange, like something Gary Frank would have drawn. I don't mind this new artist, but he's got the Legionnaires faces showing stuff that doesn't seem to fit the dialogue or the situation, as if the story was changed after the art had already been ordered...
Odd that a woman that can fly would choose riding a rat as a means of getting around. On the meta front, they have to show off their abilities for the 'new readers,' but on an in-story front, perhaps they just are reveling in their abilities (Lyle, for instance, has no reason to be invisible, when he's talking to a talking rat ridden by a tiny woman, and is only the most freaking obvious 'invisible person' one could imagine...).
Superboy looks like he's twelve. Wow. The others look like teens, but he's positively tiny!

The art is a huge improvement - I'd even go as far as to say I wouldn't mind this guy being the permananent Legion artist in Adventure - and I'm loving the choice of Legionnaires to focus on in the Zaryan portion (major yawns to the choice of members in the 21st century of course). iBut it's so great seeing Reep, Salu and especially Lyle all looking good and acting dynamic in the pages of this book.
I'm looking forward to an issue of Adventure Comics. How long has it been since I've been able to say that?

I kind of like it... except that it makes the fact that they were getting wasted and hopping into bed with one another a couple of issues ago even more icky.

You have got to stop thinking with a 21st century mindset when it comes to 31st century mores.
FYI: Mores, in sociology, are any given society's particular norms, virtues or values.

The faces don't seem to have the distracting amount of rendering they had earlier on. I actually think it's an improvement, personally. I didn't mind Sharpe's composition and design, but his faces always looked out of whack to me.
Also, it looks like this era's Brainy uses the same permanent wave formula that Colossal Boy used to use.
