Retroboot Legion of Super-Heroes #10

Before I begin my review of Retroboot Legion of Super-Heroes #10, an apology.

It has become clear to me that this review series, from a total experience and a chronological order, is going to forever be muddled. While this series was going on, the Legion was also headlining in a run of Adventure Comics. And while the tales there concentrated mostly on Legion Academy kids, there was some cross-pollination. Thus, the 'blue creature attacking Wildfire and Dawnstar', a plot which has impacted this run, took place there.

Let's add a bit more muddled timeline to this blog. Technically, the Retroboot Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #1 took place between issues #9 and #10. And, even worse, the Legion of Super-Villains Special #1 takes place between this issue and #11. But to keep things on track and to keep the social media publicity going, the reviews through the thirteenth issue have been pre-posted.

It is too late to go back. So the plan will be to cover the Annual and the LSV Special after LSH #13. And maybe the Adventure Comics run will be covered here eventually.

Okay, apologies over.

Let's head to the book.

Hot: Dream Girl (vol 6)

The argument about "Who is the hottest Legionnaire?" will never end. And really, when we have this discussion, we are ALL winners, because we get to consider various examples of hot-ness in our debate! (And I'm talking both male and female Legion hotness here, by the way.) 

HOWEVER....*always* on the list of finalists, no matter which version of the Legion we are talking about, is Ms Nura Nal from Naltor, the one and only Dream Girl. 

Here she by Yildiray Cinar and Wayne Faucher and Francis Portela, from LSH (v6) #5. Hot? 

Version 6 Shadow Lass is HOT

Shadow Lass is hot, no matter which version of Legion of Super-Heroes you are reading. Case in point: LSH volume 6, which ran for sixteen issues in 2010 and 2011. Stories were by Paul Levitz, with art by Yildiray Cinar and Wayne Faucher and Francis Portela. 

Tasmia Mallor, the blue-skinned brunette wearing black leather, tends to stand out in group shots.
