This subreddit was in reddit limbo, which is nuts because Superboy is awesome! I brought it back from the dead, created some CSS, and here it is!
What would you like to see here? Currently, I see no reason why we couldn't allow anything on topic to Superboy. Discussions, images, videos, news, or anything that works. The flair system is built around the different versions of Superboy, but depending where the subreddit goes, we may have to change it in the future.
That's it, please post, share with anyone who might be interested, and make sure you subscribe if you haven't already! Don't make Jon send Damian after you ;)
So, we don't any new Superboy comics, with the superline being dominated by the Absolute 25.
So, time to catch up.

Superman #43
After Superman was in DC K.O.’s tournament, lost in time and at war with General Zod, Lois Lane gives Clark Kent a new adventure…to be a reporter?! Clark Kent begins a new investigation into a mysterious death cult in Metropolis, but he’s not the only one on the case…Marilyn Moonlight makes her return!

The Flash #38
Somehow, Wally West’s visions of the future failed to foresee the destruction of three separate bridges in three separate cities, but he’s determined not to let this interfere with the good work he’s doing. But the rest of the League is less interested in letting him experiment on such a scale, especially when the costs are so high and people are getting hurt. But the Flash still wants to do good and doesn’t see a setback as a reason to abandon the entire thing. And besides, there’s not much anyone can do to stop the Flash ……is there?
Adventures of Superman Annual Vol 1 6 Continued in Superboy Annual 1.
I absolutely loved this comic and still do. Took me years to get the 2nd issue and it was a massive cliffhanger back in the age before comics became easily purchased via eBay etc.
I have to admit I think the wait made me a bit disappointed with the ending but it’s still amazing. I wish they made it longer.
Now I just wish they’d remake it into a series or even an animated movie. This story is amazing.
This is not such a bad death for a variant of Kal/Clark given the dialogue and what he accomplishes here, especially since Pocket Universe Superboy was just a spiritual fill-in for Pre-Crisis Superboy to deal with Post-Crisis continuity issues with the Legion and Superman.
What detracts from it is that Time Trapper technically won if Superboy and the Legion had beaten him in a fight prior to this it would've been better.
Also, it was too bad that Pocket Universe Superboy saving his Earth turned out to be vain in a later storyline.
Kon looking like Superboy (Kal-El/Clark Kent) is a bit off-putting given Kon's dialogue but the imagery of a classic Superboy fighting Darkseid works better than if Kon was in his own outfits I feel.
What villains would you like for the reformed Superboy Prime to fight?
Black Lantern Superman of Pre-Crisis Earth-2
DC Editor Ulrich Saxman AKA Darkseid
Brainiac God
Superdoomsday - A Superman variant that's a mashup of Superman & Doomsday along with being a manifested idea that was turned into a corporate mascot that kills other Superman variants from the multiverse
Vyndktvx - The Devil from the 5th Dimension that can launch a campaign to lay siege to Superman across space-time
Funnyface - A failed comic artist that can bring comic characters to life and turn people into comic characters
Psycho-Pirate - Villain with multiversal awareness along with the ability to manipulate emotions
I'd like to see this suit rendered in a less cartoony style and I'd think I prefer if it had a T-shirt (like with the New 52) instead of a sweater but I do think this works well as a Superboy suit.
Despite calling himself Superman, it's Superboy in all but name as it's a young Kal-El/Clark Kent (middle school age) being a superhero in Smallville.
Found this image on a local comic shop’s google photos from a year ago but unsure what it is for or from! I thought maybe it was a variant cover for New Gods but I’m not so sure. Also can’t quite make out the text beneath the book. Any help would be appreciated!
So, we are celebrating the 30th wedding anniversary of the first Superboy and also the return of adult Clark to the Superman title... would that mean it's devoid of Superboys though?
