Stop here if you haven't read Superboy 1&/or 2.
If you just want to know about Superboy 3 then skip the next two paragraphs
Superboy 1
Any way, on with superboy 3, just like the last review I did, I have just recently started reading superboy, I know what your thinking " This volume just started?" still, its a new read to me, I've started to read them in the past 2 weeks. so far I'm liking it, there's not much of a story to the volume at the moment, so here's a quick little catch up, Conner is sat in one of the many fields in Smallville when Phantom Stranger pop out of no where and says that he will have to go through some tough time's soon, Conners best mate know he is Superboy and promises to keep it a secret Parasite attacks conner, and conner quickly turns in to Superboy takes parasite to the middle of no where in some random field, and wins the fight. Poison Ivy shows up and just before she does the plants act weird and attacking every thing , and she asks for Superboys help..... end of 1
Superboy 2
How quick was that?! Lets hope this one is just as. This one is a straight follow on, any way what happens is that Superboy agrees to help Ivy and leaves his best friend (Simon) with Krypto(Super Dog) to keep an eye on parasite while the police come and collect him. Simon wants to help conner so he takes a couple of samples from parasite to help make his super frogs stronger (this kid is 360 degree's weird). Ivy and SB find the source of the disruption to the plants, and its a farm, they go in the barn and see that the farm owners hooked up to some machine. they need to get him out but Ivy, decides to rip out the cables from the Farmer, Simon and his super frogs take down Ivy SB grabs a spherical part of the machine and flies it up in to the air and it dissolves then left over is some form of tablet. at the end two creepy old guys are just standing around at night talking how their scan of conner worked and that Smallville will be theirs they ....
Superboy 3
This one has the title of "The New Adventures of Psionic Lad" you instantly think ' sounds like something from the 60's when your parents were reading comic, it sounds too cheesy to be a real hero.Moving along...
The first page that isn't an advert is of every on in a college passed out on the floor, (dam that must of been a good party) and Superboy in sheer agony whilst Lori(Luther niece) is trying to help every one seeing as she is fine some how? After turning the page, you see that this is a 'Then and Now' type of issue which means it will show a mix of two time periods that will eventually co inside, so after a 3 page spread in the 'Then', there a bit of a juicy scene where .....
REMEMBER: NO SPOILERS
In the next 'then' its conner calling up Bart(Kid Flash) and sayin he wants to do some charity event thing where Superboy and KF race, and Bart agree's to do it. When conner reaches school he says to simon that he cant be in both Superboy's and conner life and he needs to pick one, and then in lesson conner and Lori catch each other looking at one another, and look away again suddenly, end of lesson ever one in hall gets knocked out and then it flicks to a 'Now' and a portal opens and some kid fall's through, explains who he is, and says that he needs help... but with what,
Don't forget to find out for yourself so Pick Up and Read, this comic and the two previous issues of Superboy
After Finishing it my self, my thought's
The whole idea of a then and now just didn't really seem to work for me on this comic, but the super juicy scene which I will not tell, was very good, and in all honesty was highly unexpected. The art work for me on this Superboy was not as good as I expected. There is a lot that this issue lacked but wasn't that bad off a read.
