p.3, last panel:  Is Jan making an overture, or is he just feeling sorry
for himself?

p.4, panel 4:  What do Rokk and Jacques have against the Bimbino twins?

p.5, last panel:  Brainiac Jr tries to be helpful.

p.7, panel 4:  Crystal Kid?

P.8, panel 4:  Brainiac Sr tries to be helpful.  Maybe Dawnstar needs someone
with a better bedside manner.  Mordru, perhaps.

p.9, panel 1:  So why is that The Big Question?  It's interesting to
speculate, but it's not very important.

p.9, last panel:  I don't think they've thought this through very carefully.
What's this "she's back"?  If the other two know themselves to be body-1
and body-2, doesn't that mean that the third one knows herself to be body-3?
If that's the case, does she have no memories beyond being killed by
Computo?  If the three bodies have slightly differing memories, then
presumably the combined body has all three sets, in which case she should
know how many of herself there are.  And why should materializing three
bodies call for any different effort than materializing two?  It would
imply that normal Cargggians can choose to duplicate instead of triplicate,
but we've never had a hint of that before.  (I'm ignoring the implications
of the time Luornu was given the ability to split into a far larger number
of bodies, as that probably never happened now.)

p.12, panel 1:  Doesn't the old clubhouse belong to the Subs?

p.13, last panel:  Are Saturn Girl's earings tacky, or are they tacky?

p.14, last panel:  Why is Catspaw referring to herself in the third
person?  She speaks normal English/whatever elsewhere.  And she's
felinoid, not aardvarkian.  Also, why does she appear insulted?  She
couldn't have lived as long as she has (assuming she was either put in
stasis or cloned from a body of her apparent age) without learning that
people don't care to be clawed.

p.15, panel 8:  It seems that Cham *and* Danielle were hit by flying
planets -- So how will they decide which of them is to lead the Legion?

p.18, panel 5:  Tenzil's back-door entry is reminiscent of a similar scene
in the movie "The Great Dictator".

p.19, last panel:  Thanking Jan Jr. for Jan Sr.'s actions.  I guess the
young Legionnaires are going to inherit the ghosts of a lot of LSH history.
They'll just have to learn to grin and bear it.

p.20, panel 2:  Why should the destruction of Earth damage an asteroid out
by Mars?  There shouldn't have been much of a gravity wave.  And there
didn't seem to be much flying debris.  

p.20, last panel:  There are some subtle differences between the current
clubhouse and the way it used to be drawn that make this version look more
like a building and less like a rocket ship that's crashed nose down.

p.21, panel 5:  What's with McCraw and Ayla, anyway?  He doesn't seem to
have trouble drawing anyone else's hair red. 

p.21, last panel:  It sounds as though Jan was issued a new codename
against his will.  Isn't that unreasonable?

p.22, panel 1:  Looks as though Laurel took her older self's advice about
costuming.  Though why she's got a no-pest strip hanging down to her knees
is beyond me.

p.23, panel 3:  The Melbourne dome has veered into the Djakarta dome?  Is
this the first move of the new and improved Fatal Five?  Or have they
forgotten that the domes are no longer under power?  How does part of that
tinker-toy assembly go about veering into another part?

p.24, credits and splash page:  The last fourteen pages are the ones drawn
for the triple-sized issue that didn't happen.  Costumes...  Dirk's
represents the most dramatic improvement over his old one.  Laurel's
looked far better on p.22 than here:  It's a potentially great costume
that's easy to draw badly.  Most of the others are neither better nor
worse.  I like Vi's violet costume, and Rokk's new color scheme may be a
change for the better.  The younger Jo seems to have picked up the 2990s
fashion of growing a stubble.  

It'll be interesting to see if the writers can find anything actually
useful for Tenzil and Luornu to do.  I'm looking forward to finding out.
Actually, I have to agree with Cham:  This group has something the older
group's been missing.
