Let the roll be called!
COSMIC BOY : I'm guessing Rokk spent his vacation on Braal. Wonder how his dad is?
127,000 members... open election... I think we all know where this is going. No matter who gets elected, I think Cosmic Boy will be to this legion as he was to the previous one (perhaps not the ones before that)- the Leader behind/over/through the elected leader. We haven't seen enough of him leading the *team* as he does in this issue. Makes it a lot easier to respect him.
Since the 'revelation' in last issue's letter column sequence, I can't help wondering about how Cos is reacting to everyone he appears with in a panel.
COLOSSAL BOY : I particularly like the Cos/Gim sequence. Good to see the big boy's got a brain-- or at least some cunning. His advice to Cos made sense to me.
I was worried there for a minute when Gim took on the Dominator thingie head on-- only to have his flight ring go on the blink. Whew- there he is rubbing his aching head while Cos welcomes Supergirl.
KARATE KID : "Who was the first to test that theory?" K-Kid hasn't been in *space* yet???!!! I find that hard to swallow. Invisible Kid, I would've bought.
Aren't the Legionnaires getting any sort of training at all?
ELEMENT LAD: He's not touching that hull he's turning to whatever gas he's turning it into. Later, he *is* touching Gim's flight ring as he tries to 'fix it' (how, exactly?), only to discover that it's "too complex an alloy". Too bad Brainy wasn't around to whisper into his ear, like on Naltor.
SUPERGIRL : Looks great, but it's way to early to tell much about her. The 'dream' comment is quite a hook for next issue, but it, too, doesn't tell us enough for us to judge much about what she actually is saying. Won't stop us, though.
Hmmm. Since Phantom Girl's the history maven, shouldn't she have been the one to first speak to Supergirl? Or at least been beside Cos to advise him?
Hmmmm. Hmmmmm. Just how did the Legionnaires get into space to await the Dominator thing? Did they fly up? Transmat?
Hmmm. Hmmmm. Hmmmm. Was that a new style Dominator with a yellowish dot on his forehead in the Cos/Gim scene?
