    The Boy is Back in Town

    Superboy is the reason why I am in comics today. I love him in the Reign of Superman and I grew up reading his series before it was cancel after 100 issues, even when it got a bit weird at the end with Joe Kelly and Didio. When he died in Infinite Crisis, I was sad, but at least they send him off with a bang, saving the entire, then they brought him back in Lo3W and I was happy as can, when I heard that he's going to have his own series again, I exploded in shere joy. 
     So far, we Superboy being a new place with some of his old freinds as well as new ones.  Overall, if you like Superboy, this comic is a must. The Legion, as awesome as they are, were an added bonus.
     
    I can only hope that they can dive deeper into Superboy's past; like his original girlfriend, Tana Moon. In Conner's laster series,  there were a lot loose ends that need to be tied up. Besides, it been awhile since we last saw the members of Cadmus (in something good, so Countdown doesn't count.) and I would like see them again, especially Serling.

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...
