As I was reviewing this, I started asking myself, who is the bigger draw here, Geoff Johns or Francis Manapul? There's also the fact that it's Superboy, Red Robin AND Krypto here.
I just have to say this was truly a beautiful comic. When you look at the images and see Francis Manapul's amazing art and colors, it's easy to get distracted or sucked into them. If you actually read the story, read the interaction between Conner and Tim, you'll see that Geoff Johns also does a 'beautiful' job. He takes two characters that were best friends and really writes them well.
I mentioned when I reviewed the first issue that I'm not the biggest fan of the Legion of Superheroes. I don't have anything against them, I just never really got into them. Maybe I just never really gave them a chance. I did enjoy the 'second feature' here though. It looks like something big could be coming up with them.
What would have made this perfect (for me) was a full issue of Superboy, Krypto, etc with Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul. We know their days are numbered on this book so we just have to enjoy this while we can.
