    Yay Superboy is back!

    Obviously by now you all know, Superboy is back!! A Whole lot of this comic is how he deals with being back and some of the stuff he does. Hes also become a lot more...humble is i think the word i can best use, he has a whole new outlook on life and begins trying to model himself after Superman. While this is happening though he makes a stop to Lex Luthors old house, and it seems like hes trying to connect with his other half(he is after all half Superman and Half Lex). All over it was a great start, not a lot of conflict but there is a villian type thing introduced, along with a smart kid that might wind up being Superboys own little Lex Luthor. So theres soemthing being set up and im really interested in seing how it plays out. Also in this was a Legion of Super Heroes feature in the back. Starman is basically being himself (messed up in the head) and trys to go bowling. Personally i think that the Legion should just have its own comic but whatever works. The art was all good and i say if youre a fan of Superboy you should pick this one up :) Happy reading everybody

The story depicts a Superboy adjusting to comic book resurrection...

      The Return 0

      The epic Return of Superboy, alias Connor or Kon-El is felt here. You all probably know that Superboy died in Infinite Crisis #6 (to the distress of most readers) but then returned in Legion of three worlds (not sure what issue). This issue shows us what Connor does now that he is back: He tries to become more like his fathers. The issue is not as interesting as issue 2, since I was really looking forward to the Superboy-Wonder Girl reunion, and thought he would do that here. One main questio...
