Adventure Comics #529 review

With tutors Night Girl, Bouncing Boy and Duplicate Girl taken out by Cosmic King, it’s up to the Legion Academy students to defend Legion of Super-Heroes HQ. And while they do a fine job, a sacrifice is the price they pay for victory. It’s satisfying to see the trainee heroes finally cut loose after months […]

It’s all to do with an ancient god who absorbs metahuman powers, setting him up as the final foe to be […]
