Waid gave us the accident prone Star Boy. Bedard gave us a more competent Star Boy. Now Shooter gives us a witty Star Boy. I think I'm starting to like this guy....

"Prodigious Physicality." Hee-hee. That's what Projectra said...hee-hee.

Another strong issue... some good action and the new candidates' powers were highly entertaining.
I have only one quibble... too many new space-age curse words like florg, zizz, cruk and snoog! Florg is especially over-used. These just sound annoying and forced to me.
Fruit Boy for Legion Leader!!!!!

I don't know. Sometimes you just gotta say, "what the florg!"

Liked the issue a lot. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where this series is headed.
My one gripe is that (with the exception of Fruit Boy) Shooter is using the 90's as a basis to name his Legion rejects. I thought the main reason we rebooted to this Legion was to get back to Boy/Girl/Lad/Lass names! This isn't the X-Men!*

*Then again at least they got names at all.

Click Here For A Spoilerit took only about 4 pages for Shooter to intro a character that's grabbed most of our attention it seems. Not sure yet about the bad-guys, Shooter's specialty.

-I think Spy, virus, and voice would make good additions. Spy seems to have a good grasp of powers, and the other two just need training.
-Lighting Lad: where to begin. it's one thing to make bad decisions, it's another to act like a complete donkey. grow up already. at least show some tact. I get the impression he wants to get booted out of the leadership position.
as for the Legion killing the clones(?), it reminds me of something I read a few days ago. the writer mentioned how a silver age Flash villian used to freeze people, but the story would always mention that they would thaw later. huh, huh, sure they would.
