There's something that I love in a good story that is rarely done: Where a plot point that could be dragged out to cause drama is instead handled in a sensible fashion. Here two characters, Lightspeed and Striker, come out of their respective closets, at least to each other and the readers, and have a very honest discussion about their sexualities and how it affects them. It would be easy to have this slip into an afternoon special soapbox, or have it drag on to wring out every bit of angst possible. Instead we get two teens, one of them easily the least likable members on the team, just open up and support each other in a warm and intelligent manner. The rest of the issue is great as well, but I was really happy to see Christos Gage tackle the issue of the issue so well.
