DC decided to reboot their comic book universe, so I decided to blog along with it!
Superboy #1
Scott Lobdell: Writer
R. B. Silva: Penciller
Rob Lean: Inker
I've bought a Superboy comic, and it feels so, so good.
Seriously, the last time I bought this was a year or two into the first Superboy comics post the Death of Superman event. I wasn't going to be getting into this version when I first saw it. It made it seem like Superboy would be mostly a cyborg type of character. Thankfully, it is not.
What changed my mind was the preview pages I saw. I loved them. It intrigued me enough to want to buy the comic and give it a chance. So far, that has paid off.
We get a homegrown Superboy, the combination of human and kryptonian DNA into one being that's been grown in a vat. There isn't much personality to this Superboy, but we are learning how he sees the world just as we are learning his world.
The art is excellent. Its fairly basic art, tells a story, and let's the words convey the parts that it can't. This whole book is easy to get into. Maybe that's why I like it, I don't know. This book will have a direct connection to Teen Titans, and this is especially helpful that the same writer has both books.
This has a feel to it that I used to have for the Flash/Impulse books that came out a while back. They would compliment each other and allow the writer to flip the focus between the two characters but had them work together beautifully. I'm hoping that the same thing happens here. I am optimistic.
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: Yes, but you have to be committed to Teen Titans as well.
Buy Next Issue: Its made my pull list along with another Superman book, which is weird. Let's hope the weirdness continues.
