    In a market where grim and dark is the order of the day, "Legion of Super-Heroes" still feels fresh and fun.

"Legion of Super-Heroes" has quickly settled into a fun niche of its own. Read Full Review

He's even still throwing around terms like "Earthborn like you," this very issue. So he has suddenly had a total change of heart, turns on his former allies, and sleeps with a very obviously non-Terran woman? And Shady thinks sleeping with this recent major foe is a good idea? Sorry, I absolutely hate this development, and find it at best unlikely for both of the characters most directly involved. Read Full Review
