That always bothered me a little. Konk is delightfully ridiculous (really? her power is a floating head??).<br /><br />I love the bit with M'Onel and Lamar. Kind of the one really hero thing that happens in this issue -- M'Onel bowing out so that it can be a fair fight. Which brings me to a complaint I have now that I'm thinking critically about this issue ... the heroes don't really do anything. Both storylines are resolved without any real agency on the part of the protagonists. On Xanthu, the Legion was only losing the match because of Kid Quantum, and they only won it because she had a (totally justified) change of heart. <br /><br />Tinya comes back (yay!) but really -- did Ultra Boy really do anything?? He had chest pains and went to her old room. Ambassador Wazzo at least had some agency in getting him to the infirmary -- but storywise, that wasn't really even necessary.<br /><br />Continuity issues. The Reboot always had some problems with keeping their stories straight across two books coming out each month. This time we see a reference to Violet hiring Dr. Gym'll -- but just last issue of Legionnaires, it was clearly Triad who did so. Also, if I recall correctly, despite it happening in full view of the doctor AND Live Wire, no one else knows that Tinya is "alive" in future issues (yes, they can't see her, but seriously -- the two who CAN see her aren't going to explain to the others? Really?).Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110849730431679786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-50054741783169529642017-03-30T06:18:32.287-04:002017-03-30T06:18:32.287-04:00If I remember right, the reboot had both an Atmos ...If I remember right, the reboot had both an Atmos and an Atom'X.Matthew Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007497367844755093noreply@blogger.com
