    Strong issue, and not just because he's the Boy of Steel 7

    In this issue, Superboy comes into contact with the unstoppable force known as Doomsday. It's an honest homage to the "Death of Superman" storyline, but it doesn't end as tragic as you'd think. The Good While I missed the whole "Reign of the Supermen!" storyline, I was always a little fascinated by Kon El; not quite as boyscoutish as Superman, but still willing to serve the greater good.

    The Good: Oh boy do I love Marco Rudy's artwork.I like how the issue was set up by the conversation with Tim, it really represented the balance of Superboy between 2 titles, Teen Titans and Superboy.The battle between Superboy and Doomsday was as epic as I expected it to be. A completely brutal throwdown with both sides giving it all they had.There were some key hints that clued me in on the secret of Reign of Doomsday.I know it's a common complaint in all the Reign of Doomsday issues, that Doom...
