Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Well, have you ever woken up to discover that you've given in to your evil side and taken over your hometown? Superboy has. And as much as he wishes it were just a dream, the stakes are all too real! Guest-starring Lex Luthor, Tim Drake, and introducing "The New Titans!"
Though the narrative is becoming increasingly engaging, unfortunately this issue is completely unbalanced in terms of art. It features three different colorists that I think are meant to differentiate between the different worlds – the real world and the "dream" world – but ultimately only serve to muddy the waters. Most pages simply come off as convoluted, which could additionally be attributed to the complicated layouts provided by Marco Rudy. I can see what the intent is, it just never quite comes together as the team intended. Still, Lemire's story is competently told and ultimately an enjoyable read. Read Full Review

If Superboy's hero-villain persona hadn't been exploited so many times before, this would have been a much more powerful story, though still solidly told. Unfortunately, art by committee shows one of its worst examples here, making the title's look still its weakest point. Read Full Review
