                        Dan and Greg review Legion of Super-Heroes V2 #289. The Legion goes from teenagers in space to 20 somethings right before our eyes. New costumes, jealously, and intrigue. Its cold on that asteroid. Sometimes Greg sounds like he is on it.

                                  Dan and Greg review Legion of Super-Heroes V2 #288. Its time for the Keith Giffen art! There are lines everywhere. The Legionnaires send half the team to help Karate Kid and Projectra and send the other half to find Chameleon Boy's team. Can the team restore Projectra to the throne? Monarchy in the 30th century.
