Superboy's come back to N.O.W.H.E.R.E. with vengeance on his mind but Rose Wilson is waiting for him. Right from the start, she was the one meant to bring him down when he went out of control and this fight is going to be out of control! What can one woman with swords do against the most powerful teenager in the world? You and Superboy will be very surprised indeed!
So, overall I have to say I was entertained by the issue ... and that should always be the goal. We get a lot of great action here. We get some new wrinkles to the mysteries of NOWHERE and what they are doing. And we get to learn a bit more about Rose. So all of those are positives. But I still would like things to be moving forward just a bit faster. I keep thinking that 7 issues in I should know a little bit more of the puzzle. Read Full Review
"Superboy" is, month in and month out, a fun comic and this issue's no exception. This might have been a book that few had high hopes for (since the previous run by Jeff Lemire and Pier Gallo had been enjoyable), but it's turned into a very pleasant surprise. So long as Lobdell and Silva are on board, so am I. Read Full Review
Okay, basically this was a pretty good comic book, with a good fight scene and some interesting reveals(we learned that SB was the second thing NOWHERE had cloned and got a shadowy glimpse of what I'm guessing is NOWHERE's big boss), but with a horrible ending. Read Full Review
The pages tend to lose their flow and there's no real coherency to the future versions of Red Robin or his crew. Storytelling has to come first, and when it doesn't, even a good script can't rescue the artwork. I get what the creative team was trying to do this month, but it just didn't work. Hopefully we'll get more traditional next month. Read Full Review
I will say that if the interesting bit I mentioned earlier is an indication of where this series is headed, then there is certainly hope. But it'll need to secure a consistent voice for Superboy and feature fluid storytelling to make it worthwhile. Read Full Review
Even the cover looks unbecoming! Read Full Review
