I'm waiting for the first report of bleeding eyes due to Booth's art.
 
It actually wasn't bad he wasn't as obnoxious as the YJ version. They still keep the broad strokes. He still has tactical telekinesis. He's still a clone of Superman & a human; more than likely still Lex and not like it was originally since they made a beyond pointless inference to it.

I liked the VR scenario & how subconsciously he's still Kal in a way but without the altruism. LOL @ the lady in the burning house. I like how he's trying to break out but I didn't like the fact that this is obviously probably closely tied to the Titans book since I won't be buying that one.

I hope it remains self contained enough to work on it's own. I mean it has ****ing Caitlin Fairchild in it for pete's sake and I did not expect that at all since I stay spoiler free since I'm spending money here. Oh and Rose is in it and
I've been wanting her and Conner to be a comic couple for a long time since Conner and Cassie is boring as hell.
 
I liked SB's #1 I'll be tuning in one month from now to see him break out.

picked up Superboy #1 yesterday.....

My expectations for this book were prob the lowest of the Super books. But, I must say, I really enjoyed this issue. Maybe even more so than Action Comics #1.

Perhaps it is because it's Superboy, and NOT Superman, and thus it's easier for me to accept this new, "blank slate" Superboy.

But I really like the direction they are taking, and I am eager to see Superboy's powers in action.

speaking of powers.....

Superboy mentioned he can move/lift things with his mind. to me, this seems to suggest that he has full TK ( or the potential for full TK ) and not just Tactile TK.

did anyone else get that impression?

also, was it implied Conner had Telepathy as well? it seemed that he could hear that redhead scientist's thoughts.........
 
Like others have said I didn't have high expectations for this book but it was actually alright, did not expect the two character cameos that popped up.

The VR thing reminds me of Impulse/Kid Flash origin but it makes sense. I definetley checkout the next issue

I thought SHE was the one with telepathy! :wow:

Oddly enough, I'm just the opposite. I loved the previous version of Superboy and I still don't feel like they explored the possibilities with him as well as they could or should have. Scrapping all of that to start over feels like a lot of wasted opportunities to me. Conversely, Superman's had 70 years of stories, many of which are fantastic, shining examples of everything that character ought to be, so a new take on him is fresh and interesting and doesn't feel like a waste because I've got all this great material I can look back to if I want the older version(s).
 
I loved Action Comics, also liked superboy, can't wait to see more.

I agree mostly. At the same time, I kinda like the prospect of seeing Conner's origin done again simply because I'd definitely prefer to see it as it's own standalone story instead of folded into the giant mega event that was DoS.

And - if Lobdell was smart - he'd breeze through Superboy's origin in 6 issues then quickly evolve the character back to his classic (and best) personality and go back to exploring all of those possibilities you mentioned.

That said, I don't expect him to be smart. :o
 
If that happens, let me know. I'd gladly pick up the series all the way back to #1 and catch up. But I'm with you: I don't see it happening.
 
I was just wondering how much you guys had to pay for Action Comics #1? The store in my area is charging $10 for it.
 
I paid cover price minus 10% at my regular shop on the week it came out.

Them mofo's jackin' up the price. You should buy it online just to say screw you! :argh:

Ripped off. It's not like that issue will be worth millions in years to come or anything.
 
...I payed 2.99 on comixology by accident.
 
Especially with triple reprints.

Of course you could sell it at 3 times the price to idiots that don't know any better. :o
 
Yeah, I'd just wait for the second print run at this point. And probably go to a different shop than the one charging $10.

Because he's a time traveler from 1991?
 
Shouldn't he be somewhere marveling at the wonder of porn on an iPhone?
 
Yes. It's that comics are valuable anymore.

We learned that in 1995. I can see why you're confused, Mr. Time Traveler.
