Comments – Color Kid is rejected for Legion membership and is referred to the Subs, which has recently admitted Dream Girl, And something else . . . yes, of course, Star Boy kills Dream Girl’s stalker in self-defense and is referred to the Subs (where human life is cheap).

  1. I've got a feeling it may all turn out to be a ruse. Those Sub guys must have felt like they hit the jackpot when Dream Girl joined.

  2. How insightful.

    On a side note, over at Comic Book Resources, a list of most memorable moments is being assembled. Someone suggested a scene (soon to be indexed) of Dream Girl toiling over a hand laundry tub.
