Episode #120: Comic Book For Wednesday, May 4, 2011:

Adventure Comics #526 (DC) *  *  *  *


The Legion Academy trouble making cadets finally show that they did learn something at the Academy. We also learn the secret behind how Chemical Kid got his powers from dear old Dad. This issue was a good change of pace, showing them using their heads for something other than for figuring out new ways to get into trouble. I almost felt sorry for the bad guys. Almost. The second story, Mosaic, was about Legionnaire XS. It was nice to see her again. She was part of the post Zero Hour Legion, if I remember correctly. Her power was super speed, like the Flash. What I liked about this story was that it shed a little light into the break up of Night Girl's relationship with Cosmic Boy. It was a good story for character development, but I did like the main story a little better.
