Good thing that they're there! How can the UP risk the lives of Brainy and Dreamy? They're their planets' treasures and have worked to save the UP many times. The UP isn't thinking very straight.

Well this preview is certainly a good remedy for the solicits (which make that group sound like they're barely on par with the Inferior Five)...I really like when Legionnaires use their powers in creative ways like this
In other news, WHEN IS THOM GONNA GET OUT OF THAT SPROCKING CHAIR?! Seriously, he has been back for over a year in real time and he is still on the wounded list?
Yet Polar Boy can get a new hand made as easy as walking to the corner store...it's just pointless, and Thom's recovery period (recovery from what??) has been dragged out way longer than it ever needed to be....

Thom had mental injuries as seen in Adventure Comics and Lo3W. He may be using the chair as a mental crutch because he "feels" unsure of himself.
I love the use of Comet Queen's powers in this preview. I've finally found a use for her in the Legion. She was a good pick for Bouncing Boy's plan.

The preview does indeed look good. I'm wondering how they are all able to fly since this is a non sanctioned mission and they should not be wearing Legion Flight rings? I can't wait to see Comet Queen, Duplicate Damsel and BB kick some Dominator Disk Licker ass

Except the JSA doesn't exist on the current Earth anymore, so how does the whole "Starman" thing fit in now? We had Ultra Boy reference his time in the asylum, so that's still there somehow. Unless the Legion still 'see's the pre-Flashpoint history from their vantage point, which would be even more messy.

He's probably gone crazy just from trying to figure out his own continuity!
Anyway, I thought this issue was pretty decent, even if the Legionnaires got taken out way too easily. Probably the best cover of the series so far! And "spacetrash" is officially my new favorite insult.

Looks very nice.
(Feh. I can't even remember how many issues behind I am right now.)

Fun issue. Portela did his usual nice job, and I liked this Guinaldo guy too. Thom's team came across as competent. Mon-El had his strongest moment as leader. Nura and Lu came across well. What is Comet Queen's motivation?
A quick read, but a lot going on.

This was an action packed roller coaster issue. Thomas dis a good job leading the rescue team until the betrayal changed things. Mon-el isn't completely off the hook with his answer to Cosmic Boy. He could have sent any legionnaire in if he really wanted to, even with the diplomatic hang-ups. There 's a lot of stuff that has to happen next issue to resolve this crisis. I for one will be on the edge of my seat to see hoe Paul Levitz sorts this out.

Isn't the Dominion making clones of the Legion?
If so, it would be easy to assume she wants her very own Bouncing Boy.
Or... she could be pulling a Mentalla.
...
You know, I just realized, but both Legion traitors, Nemesis Kid (the real one) and Mentalla (the fake one) had the same color scheme.

Luornu particularly kicked ass, but everyone got a chance to shine....and I am gonna be interested to see where Paul's going with Comet Queen because I doubt very highly that it's as simple as it appears to be. At a guess I'd say the Dominator guy with the DNA strand on his disk has something to do with it...
Good cliffhanger!
