Thank you, MAWS. No seriously. By tricking me for a whole year into thinking I'd actually get the animated Kon I've always wanted only to pull the rug out from under me at the last second... I've been inspired to go on a reading binge! Haven't read the Superboy 1994 run in years and I'm very much enjoying the nostalgia!
For those of you that love and miss our clone boy, here are some highlights to convince you to go back and read his series(or start it!):
Introduction of King Shark. For those of you that may not know or forgot, King Shark was originally a Superboy villain.
You guys love the Krypto from the Supergirl movie? Well he's pretty similar to the Krypto in this series. Gonna start keeping a count of how many times Superboy gets slammed to the ground by puppy love.
Geeky Superboy! He's so obsessed with TV shows, references 90210 and NYPD Blue among others quite often!
Also, Young Justice Superman has nothing on the version we get here. For those of you that may not know, the original version of Superboy wasn't even Clark's clone! (The whole half Superman half Lex thing was cooked up when they revamped his origin story.) But Clark still took the time to name him, teach him about Krypton, and even invited him to come live with the Kents. It's not the perfect fanfiction scenario I know a lot of us wanted for Kon, but I actually quite like how Superman interacts with Superboy in this series. Kon's independence is important to him, and I appreciate Clark recognizing that and offering guidance and support without being overbearing to Kon.
I have so much more I could share, but I think you should all do yourselves a favor and read and enjoy it for yourselves.
