Art looks great, but what's this "Jan doesn't play well with others" jazz?
I wonder if we're meant to think of that as just being Dirk's opinion rather than stated fact?
I could imagine an extroverted party boy like Sun Boy mistaking Jan's more introspective personality for snobbiness or a lack of social skills...
Or I guess it could be yet another example of the bizarre characterisations we've had since this LO3W like Brainy's outright rudeness, Polar Boy's transformation to a lecherous drunk, Ultra Boy becoming a dumb jock and Shady's attraction to powerful nutjobs....

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

It wouldn't enlarge for me either. I had to squint like crazy, and fill in the blanks on the words that didn't flow, like whatever the name of the region was. (If they hadn't brought up it being near to where Dragonwing was, I wouldn't have the slightest clue where to place it, since the place name was too small for me to even guesstimate.)
I saw Sun Boy's statement as irony / unreliable narration, since Jan's the one who *has* been working with others during Levitz' run, while Sun Boy has been running off to do things alone, for the most part.
Sun Boy's a lot of things, but he doesn't seem to have ever been a great judge of character. I mean, seriously Dirk, the *one girl in thirty years you bring back to the HQ is a robot that is using you to get past security and attack the team?*

If you're using a browser that supports tabs, just right click on the thumbnail and select "Open Link in New Tab." Clicking on the opened picture should enlarge(+ cursor) or shrink(- cursor) it.

Thank-you, SAL and kenaustin, I did both things and they worked wonderfully.
I love the art, it's so clear.
I got the impression that the word 'Jan' might have been a mistake that the editor didn't catch. I think that it should have been 'Dirk doesn't play well with others.' Just a thought, but it IS more in keeping with the character and actions shown, imo.

Good catch. That makes much more sense. Also on that same page Jan calls Chemical Kid "lad". Shouldn't he have said "kid"?

Nah, it's definitely not talking about Dirk - Dirk is the one doing the narration (you might not be able to see it on the smaller image but it's got his icon in the narrative boxes).
Also, I think Jan was just calling CK lower-case lad as a term of endearment, not Lad as an abbreviation of his code name

Hmmm. Why would Dirk use a term of endearment for a kid he hasn't really talked with, that we've seen, really?
And while I think you're probably correct about the Jan/Dirk thingy, I don't understand why Dirk would say that about Jan when Jan is the one working with Chem and Dirk is the one who takes off on his own to do things himself. sigh

Oh, I agree. He may feel bad about Condo, as well.
Jan and Chem, I forget his name, are pretty much the only ones left with those kind of powers, that and the one we saw in Adventure.
There IS a female Trommite in the 21st century, though. We see her with the anti-Superman bad guys in a bullet in Kal's brain in this last Action. I wonder if she was pulled from time?
Maybe she'll turn up as Shavghn, I can never remember how to spell her name correctly , and she and Jan can be the Adam and Eve of their world.
Condo's powers were passed on from his genes, so maybe Chem could be used as a source for repopulation, too.

Even as leader Jan didn't have many friends he paled around with in the Legion that I recall, and he's been with the team for a long time. That's probably what Dirk was referring to. He's never been in any of the cliques or pairings that I recall (aside from his friendship with Imra).
A decent issue but a little slight. For a character focused issue, we didn't learn a whole heck of a lot about Dragonwing other than she's learning to play better with others and is becoming more competent, which is good, but doesn't strike me as enough.
I must say, Paul got me with the dog reveal though.

Didn't care for this issue at all once it started focusing on Dragonwing... a bit of a shark jumper for me. I have no interest where her storyline may lead at the moment. Too much focus on her and Chem Kid... I want to see my old-timey Legionnaires. This series feels more like an extension of the brief, recent Adventure Comics series as opposed to the previous LSH.
