It's a sweet moment that is only a little bit diminished by Night Girl getting put in the distressed damsel role, but it's the launching point for one of the Legion's longest-lasting romances, one that led to at least one universal iteration of the couple getting married. (When it comes to Legion history, there's seldom any such thing as an absolute answer, even about something as simple as the heroes' state of being.) This issue does help to mitigate my sadness about the loss of the Legion ongoing, reminding me that we've still got nearly sixty years of stories to choose from if I need my 30th Century fix. Superboy Starring The Legion Of Super-Heroes #212 is a rather run-of-the-mill seventies Legion tale, but one with a clever hook and some nice bits and pieces swirling around that central conceit, even if it's not quite up to the standards of today's dark-and-moody storytelling, earning 3 out of 5 stars overall.
