Before I get started with these two issues, I need to note that Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld makes her debut here in a preview comic in the middle of Legion of Super-Heroes #298.  We will get back to Amethyst later, but just rest assured that there is a connection between this sword and sorcery character and the Legion of Super-Heroes, so her debut in this book, does indeed make sense.

As the Legion is on Earth dealing with Cosmic Boy’s family tragedy, Wildfire, Dawnstar, Blok, Invisible Kid II, and the White Witch come upon a mining asteroid very close to where Mon-El and Shadow Lass are vacationing.

Apparently the last UP representative was killed and the Legion has been asked by the UP to determine what happened.  The White Witch casts a spell upon the body and determines that someone had apparently crushed his heart, a murder mystery to be solved.

Back on Earth, an enraged Duplicate Boy has interrupted the vacation of Colossal Boy and Shrinking Violet and is throwing down in the Himalayas.  Shvaughn Erin alerts the Legion and Element Lad, Phantom Girl, and Ultra Boy respond.   Ultra Boy is reminded that he is Deputy Leader now, since Element Lad resigned his post and he More >

When last we left our heroes they were in various death traps that had been concocted by their old foe C.O.M.P.U.T.O. so let us continue to see if the Legion can survive the rest of the book…

Page 15. C.O.M.P.U.T.O. is gloating to Brainiac Five by showing him and Jacques Foccart the fates that the other Legionnaires are succumbing to in their own headquarters. Jacques believes that their enemy is bluffing but Brainiac Five informs Jacques that C.O.M.P.U.T.O. cannot bluff and in fact is fairly close to suffocating the two of them as well as the unconscious Dream Girl and paralyzed Mon-El. Meanwhile, Danielle Foccart who is possessed by the vile computer foe is grinning maliciously.

Page 16. A comical moment as Blok has landed on the floor underneath the pool he attempted to dive into and fell directly through it. As Timber Wolf preps his dive he is strangled and lifted off the ground by a pair of roman rings while a gymnastics horse is propelled into Blok. The Science Police have located the vacationing Wildfire and Dawnstar to alert them to the problem. The Legion cliche of an interrupted vacation lives on.

Page 17. A moment of exposition is delivered by Marte More >

In our bright and shiny 30th Century the Legion of Super-Heroes is taking a well deserved story break from the activity of the last few issues.. at least that is how this story starts off.

This story is a dense one issue ride with an old Legion foe and a new Legionnaire making their first appearance, so let’s dive in!!!

A simple cover that tells a tale doesn’t it? The Legion is in trouble all because of a little girl? Wait. That can’t be right.. but it is.

Page 1: We get what is affectionately known as the “Roll Call” Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Mon-El, Element Lad, Cosmic Boy, Light Lass, Dream Girl, Duo Damsel, Phantom Girl, Chameleon Boy, Shadow Lass, Colossal Boy, Timber Wolf, Wildfire, Brainiac Five, Dawnstar, Ultra Boy, Star Boy, Blok, Shrinking Violet, Sun Boy, Bouncing Boy, “Several Guests” and ?.

We are introduced to Science Police Officer Shvaughn Erin who is the liaison officer between the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Science Police

Page 2: Shvaughn references “Earthwar” and her boss Chief Zendak in internal monologue and approaches the LSH headquarters only to be captured by an automatic unwelcoming mat. Luckily for Shvaughn, Dawnstar and Wildfire are leaving the headquarters and Wildfire blasts the device setting Shvaughn free. More >
