| After reading the second issue for the Reading Group, I read #s 3 and 4 out of curiosity. During those two issues "Ultra" Violet Ray changes from a girl who dreams about being a sophisticated adult to a girl who through the power of her imagination really DOES transform into a sexy woman! In #4 she apparently has the ability to change herself back to a teenager at will. This could have become a very problematic concept. |
