I enjoyed it, too, except for the oh-so-fugly cover.

I thought that the anti-lead serum made Daxamites immune to red sun rays?

Just read this issue - wasn't impressed. With the exception of one or two issues, Adventure Comics has been a disaster since the Legion took over. I wish the quality of Paul's stories here would markedly improve or else the team would just get dropped from the book already so I can save some money.

Sun Killer was a total snore. I'm all for more fatties and racial minorities in the Legion's universe but solar powers?!? Boring! (That exposed brain in his forehead grossed me out too.)

The flying baby (villain?) seemed kind of intriguing but is anyone else having a flashback to the Omen and Prophet storyline? Not a good Legion-era to be reminded of.

Bring on the Academy! Surely Chuck, Lu, Mysa, Blok, Lydda and co. can turn this book around!

I thought the issue was ok. I enjoyed the artwork, but some of the story bothered me a little.

Didn't mind the introduction of a 'new' villain, although the Japanese look was cliché. Sun Killer sort of renders Sun Emperor redundant, however. The new look Mon-El GL still hasn't caught on with me. I wish another character had been chosen to join the Corps. The fight scene where Dyogene has to help defend Mon from the red sun rays, but then Mon knocks Killer out with a finger flick was all kind of goofy to me.

Prediction: The blue baby is most likely Krona, who will grow rapidy to full grown villain, similar to how baby Highfather was magically summoned and grew to fight Darkseid in GDS. Harmonia Li is directly linked to blue baby, and will help the Legion and GL Corp to fight it.

Nice seeing Gigi. I would like to see the original Shvaughn Erin as well, but I'm afraid her character Jumped the Shark back in 5YG, and Paul probably won't use her again.

Really looking forward to the Academy story.

One thing about Sun Killer. In Japanese when refering to yourself, you would never put 'san' at the end of your name. That is only done when someone else is refering to you or addressing you as a term of respect.

I did live in Japan for 5 years - not fluent in Japanese, but that's one thing I do know.
