Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #2 was absolutely nothing like the first issue. Unlike issue one, nothing sticks out as overly dynamic or attention-grabbing. The anime/ manga look just doesn’t work with the almost blurry action and less detail. However, it’s his action sequences that appear to suffer the most in Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #2. Jahnoy Lindsay’s delicate tinge on art is certainly ok and brightens up the issue enough. For someone half-Kryptonian, I expected a bit more from him, especially in his own book named after him. The Cosmoteers held the upper hand most of the time.

Moreover, Conner didn’t really get to show off his skills as he did in the last installment. It was a big turn-off compared to how much I liked issue one. It felt like I was getting forced feed some type of Retributive Justice stance. Readers, this felt absolutely nothing like the first issue of Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow. Conner says “You think trying to keep people alive is a weakness? Where I come from, taking the easy way makes you weak.” I didn’t know Conner had a soap box but it sure felt like Kenny Porter did by the end of the issue. Should we find a way to stop the bad guys without killing them? That’s a great question to discuss at the water cooler and one brought up firsthand in Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #2. Killing will permanently stop more terror. Therefore, morality becomes the crux of the comic which is quite ironic given today’s climate and sense of morality stretched to its limits. Clash of opinions on how to save lives takes center stage throughout this issue.

And after Superboy and the Cosmoteers have a little sit-down chat, we discover that their method of madness may very well be just that… madness.
