Legion of Super-Heroes #40: Enemy Rising, Part 1: Headlong Into Darkness
I have to say this series has gone from very good to truly bad ass. Jim Shooter knows his stuff when it comes to these characters, that is the flat out be all end all to it. I like the way he has treated Lightening Lad as a leader, and how that position is far more political than it has been in past incarnations of the book. The art work has been fantastic, The dialogue done very well. The exchanges amongst the Legion about Saturn Girl telepathically calming Timber Wolf down, shown that every character is given a distinct voice. This is one of my favorite ongoing series. While this proved to be a cool down issue, it was kept at top notch.
