Saturn Girl picked it up and passed it n to Element Lad who uses his powers to turn the Diamond into coal. The Comic ends with Superboy hoping this is the end of the  Bizarro  Legion forever.

Comments

This comic was okay. More of a return to the feeling of the older issues and not quite as modern feeling. However, the Bizarro Legion was a lot of fun to see. I did not like the fact that the new Legion Flight Rings only had a quick into but thankfully they would enjoy importance from here on out. I do like the fact that this felt more like a team book than it has in the past.
