    Why is Superboy New 52 so jumpy?

    I've been reading Superboy issues lately (They're okay), but every time I finish an issue it's like "Read Legion lost issues 10 to whatever, or Supergirl issues 15 to find out what happens next, etc.,) It's pretty irritating. Anyone else little annoyed at this? I don't get why it can't just follow a linear storyline :/

    Simple...DC would like you to buy more titles to boost sales figures.

    He was in crossover hell for awhile there,not so much now(even though Psi War is supposed to be crossed over with Superman,even though its not yet).

    This is how I see things,I'm a superboy fan(from 93 on),and I actually really like this take on SB,BUT I can't stand the way they have done this book,it's like they have a "don't do this" handbook,and using it page to page on superboys book,it pisses me off quite a bit,mostly cause I know if they cancel this book the next series will have the characters personality or powers tweaked in some way I don't like.

    HAH! I remember they had some crossovers where one comic would refer to a past issue in another comic's future issue.

    Like:

    Check out next months Teen titans to find out what Superboy is referring to ... (or something

    Don't get me wrong, liked the comics and ideas ... but yeah, too many crossovers leads to confusion!
