Superboy, Volume 1: Incubation, by Rob Lean, Tom DeFalco, Scott Lobdell, R.B. Silva, Iban Coello
1.0
SCOTT LOBDELL IS A BAD WRITER AND HE SHOULD FEEL BAD.
I love Superboy (can you tell by my username?), so of course I was excited to hear that he was going to get a solo title for the new 52! Hell yeah! Of course I was a little iffy about his new costume, but hey, nothing wrong with changing up the black t-shirt and jeans combo, and not everything can compare to his absolutely fabulous 90's getup. The art's pretty at any rate. But just like Lobdell's Teen Titans book, this is absolute garbage. The new 52 turned basically everyone into dicks, and poor Kon is no exception. And hey! Guess what? CONNER KENT GETS KILLED OFF LATER IN THE SERIES, SO WHY SHOULD I EVEN BOTHER READ THIS SERIES WHEN THE GUY I'M READING IT FOR ISN'T EVEN IN IT???????
I hate Scott Lobdell so much. He's a garbage writer, and a major misogynist to boot. Who keeps giving this guy things to write? Superboy, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Teen Titans? Jesus, this guy doesn't like teen supers at all. Please don't give this man your money. If you want an ACTUALLY good Superboy book, go read Boy of Steel by Geoff Johns or Smallville Attacks by Jeff Lemire which, surprise surprise, was cancelled and replaced by this shit.
