Until Harvest shows up. And he is talking some smack. He wanted to Titans/Legion/Superboy to win so that they will feel worse when they lose? It was worth having his army get crushed? I don't know ... I just don't get it. While I have enjoyed much of Superboy as a title ... Superboy's attempts to grow, the tremendous characters of Rose and Caitlin, and RB Silva's fantastic art. But I feel like this book is in something of a rut. How many issues of him saying he can make his own decisions and fighting someone from NOWHERE can I read. I need him to move forward and I need a story that is his and not so tightly linked to NOWHERE or the Titans. Read Full Review

If the writing has taken a small step forward, the art has unfortunately taken a step back. Rob Lean and Iban Coello can't be totally blamed for the way this book looks; they have to draw a ton of characters all in similar " and pretty boring " costumes fighting in a somewhat featureless arena. There is not much to be excited about. A lot of the fighting looks awkward; there is a severe lack of intensity in the battle and everyone just seems posed with their hands up. It doesn't feel like a huge fight between two super-powered groups; it's a little bit boring. Read Full Review

With the story, a large portion of the problem is in the fact that this is a crossover with tons of characters that is in the book focusing on a single one. That is fine, in and of itself, but when the fight is with a large team of bad guys too, it falls apart a bit. Read Full Review

Still, even some of the panels come across a little too busy-looking and having two inkers brings a slight inconsistency from one page to the next. "Superboy" has on the whole been a strong comic, but this issue feels like a bad misstep. This crossover should have been easy to pull off; after all, "Superboy" and "Teen Titans" have been closely connected since day one. But overall? If I was a new reader to these title and decided to start with "The Culling," I doubt I'd return next month. Read Full Review
