3.0
A very decent jumping off point for the Legion. I agree with some other comments on here — Cosmic Boy, that’s a heck of a name — and, as always when I read a superhero team-up, I’m fascinated by how every is like. Fifteen.
The story does attempt to explain this away by saying that fourteen is the age of majority in most planetary systems, and there are some interesting conversations that could be had about that, but it’s a fun and futuristic entry into a DC property I’m unfamiliar with. Nice themes of teamwork throughout, and it’s interesting in general to see this type of episodic adventure/fantastic racism story in its 90s glory. Art feels pretty golden age, despite not being of the golden age.
