"Superboy Annual, #1 (The Super Seven - DC Comics)"


WORTH CONSUMING!

In part 2, we see a traitor, a man on a mission, and the beginning of the end of the evil aliens who have enslaved Metropolis.

 While the 1st part was excellent, I was not as much of a fan of the cliffhanger. 1st, the “origin” of this Superboy is oft hinted, but never revealed, so I feel like it was a bit of a letdown. (And if it was revealed, I must have missed it).

 When Superman dies and Superboy replaces him without anyone being the wiser that the Legend himself is dead- well, I wasn’t blown away by this. It happens in Generations 2, Batman Beyond, and several other DC storylines. And it was a bit of a bummer.

 The Lex/ Superboy confrontation as a hint of things to come was a great ending and it does leave you wanting more.
