Description
Cover dated January 1989.

After being shot down by Magnetic Kid (the idiot!), Ayla runs into Shrinking Violet in the hallway. Not sure if there’s intentional foreshadowing here, but Giffen and the Bierbaums went on to have Ayla and Vi become a couple during the “Five Years Later” era that immediately followed this series.

And so concludes the only consecutive run of pages that I have in my OA collection (not counting double-page splashes/spreads). Check out the two preceding pages posted in my Legion of Super-Heroes gallery room.

Buns of steel! Note that Vi wears heels, but Ayla doesn't.

God what an idiot Magnetic Kid was. I'm now rooting for Ayla and Vi. Nice wrap to Such a tasty and spicy 3-piece!! Gotta keep these pages together.

There's Barreto
You and me, run Ranzz down
But maybe this time we'll get Shrink right, worth the Vi
'Cause love is something you can shake
Booty breaks (When it breaks)
Alya takes is some plying

If you feel like leafing
I'm not gonna beg you for page
But soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can thigh
Salu can't escape my love
You can run, you can thigh
Salu can't escape my love

So, DeCarlo
You should know (You should know)
It's art to just forget the past Pol fast
Ink was good (It was good), Krinn was bad, but it was real
And that's Salu have in the end, our love mattered

If Ayla had some Enrique Iglesias playing in the background when she encountered Pol, she would've ended up pregnant with babies with magnetic lightning powers.

Nice expressions that do so much of the storytelling. The scene-setting second panel has a great viewing angle.
