SUPERBOY: THE MAN OF TOMORROW #1 (of 5)
After the events of Dark Crisis, Conner feels out of place with the rest of the hero community. He doesn’t fit in with the rest of the Superman Family, and the rest of the world doesn’t really need him with so many Supers in Metropolis. He doesn’t want to rely on Tim, Cassie, and Bart, so Conner looks to the stars as a place he might be able to call his own and carve out his own path. But what lurks in the great unknown? Are bravado and swagger enough to help Superboy find his new calling?

Avis rapide sur les deux premiers (dont le #2 déjà sorti en ligne), qui ne me plaisent pas.
J’étais content de voir un titre sur Conner, mais le propos ne m’intéresse pas. Le personnage est ramené à son état des années 90, oscillant entre le comique, le paumé, le jeune qui veut bien faire mais tape à côté. Ce n’est pas inintéressant, mais c’est dépassé et ça zappe toute la décennie 2000, et les très bonnes avancées de Geoff Johns dessus. Confirmées elles-mêmes par la série animée Young Justice.
Bref, c’est cool de revoir Conner avec de la télékinésie tactile, mais le personnage perd de sa superbe. Kenny Porter écrit comme il peut mais ne m’emballe pas, et Jahnnoy Lindsay a un style joli bien que ses personnages semblent tous pré-adolescents.
Un trop gros retour en arrière pour que ça m’intéresse.
Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #2
Conner Kent is captured by the young space-adventuring team the Cosmoteers! On a mission to stop Dominator X, these former experiments believe Superboy is just another weapon created by the cloning mad scientist. It’ll take all of Conner’s charm to convince them he’s one of the good guys, or it’s lights out for Superboy!
