A Boy's Life!
Superboy was the first main stream comic book series that I bought. I started around Karl Kesel run on the second half of the series and I loved it. Then Joe Kelly took over and it was okay. Not bad, but not great except for a couple of issues. Then Palmiotti and Didio gave the Kid a job as a super-attendant for slum apartment building and I didn't much care for it. Sort of like how kid actors in popular shows winding up in dead end jobs in their adult lives.
But this issue finally shows Superboy as I remembered him: a kid who is destined to inherit the superman title but can't seem to do anything right, especially when it comes to saving his friends. Even though seeing Superboy in the last couple of issues seem bad to me first, but I came to see that it was interesting to see a super hero without a secret identity trying to live a normal life.
The ending of the issue was very well written, an end of one adventure for the Teen of Steel but gives ground to a new one that will take place in Teen Titans.
