    Character » Kon-El appears in 1740 issues.

    Conner Kent, also known as Kon-El, is a human/Kryptonian hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor created by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. for the purpose of being the mantle of Superman. Instead, he stuck to his own path, and became a member of the Teen Titans.

    There seems to be a lot of excitement over Superboy's return.  With Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul, Conner should be in safe hands.  
     

     
     
    What did you think of this comic?  Are you excited that Conner is back?  Do you like Krypto?  Is Conner going to be able to have a peaceful life?  Do you think Superboy was about to...abuse his powers when he saved that girl?  How awesome is this art?

    I liked it. I picked it up because of the art and because of Geoff Johns. I've never any superboy before crisis on 3 worlds so I decided to check this out and I really enjoyed it. I'll probably keep collecting this book for a while. I liked the twist at the end. Seems like a pretty cool idea.

    God I hate Conner and wish they never brought him back he died becuase in Infinite Crisis Dick Grayson was meant to die  but it was altered because DC thought he was to valubale so Conner kicked the bucket I can't wait till the Legion co-feature is collected I'd read Adventure Comics just for the Legion not Conner but 3.99 for only a couple of pages is what stops me from picking it up.

    I was about to send you a message today asking you to review this...so good job G-Man 
     
    I agree it does seem that since his death there were a lot of people who jumped on the Superboy bandwagon....I for one have been fan of his since his debut in the Death and Return of Superman storyline and I'm really glad to have him back....the writing was great but it was Geoff Johns how could it be anything other than great and the artwork was simply amazing...I've never seen any of Francis Manapul's art before...or if I have I just didn't notice it...anyway great review G-Man 
     
    and just because I'm a shameless self promoter..... http://www.comicvine.com/superboy/29-1686/adventure-comics-discussion-thread/92-407752/#20

    What no Black Lantern Superboy, I thought that was DC's new favorite way to bring back the dead?

    Conner Kent has been awesome from the jump. When I was a kid during the "Reign of the Supermen", Conner wanted to be referred to as "Superman".  I thought that he was going to be the new Superman but, that didn't happen and the rest is history.  YOUNG JUSTICE is a book that I caught early as a teen. And for anyone that's just now starting to dig Superboy, get a whole of some YJ.  One of the funnest and funniest superhero comicbooks you'll ever read.  TEEN TITANS gave Conner more of an in-depth origin, leading into Infinite Crisis.  I was devestated when they killed him off.  There's always got to be a Superboy AND a Supergirl in the mix.  They're Superman's wide recievers.  I dug Legion of Three Worlds and now ADV. COMICS brought us back to Smallville.  Can't wait to see what happens next.

    As far as Superboys popularity...I think with Prime becoming a villain in IC, they wanted to kill him off so Prime could become more a universal and multiversal threat instead of just a villain for Superboy...
     
    This is just what I think of course

    Glad Connor's back! Story was good, and i'm excited to see where its going! Art is great and Manupaul's career is still pretty new so it'll only get better. Glad to see the Legion around, but i think they could hold their own series if the right people were in charge. i guess Geoff wanted to recreate the old Adventure comics idea of Superboy/Legion and be able to write superboy and the legion with only one book since he's doing 100 things.

    I haven't read it yet because I haven't been to the store to pick up my comics yet, but I love that Conner is finally back. I hated that they killed him in Infinite Crisis. I think it would be really cool if the girl he saved ends up being Chloe Sullivan, it would be a nice little touch to actually get her character into continuity but odds are it's not her. But none the less Conner is back and the art is ridiculously good.

    I love Connor, and I always have loved him. It killed me when they had kiled him off. The reason they had did that was becasue they wanted to kill someone that people liked. Who would've cared if they killed Nightwing? He's a fav, but not by that much. I am extremely happy that superboy is back, he was the main reason I collect the Teen titans books, then I slowed, bc, he did died. I can't wait to read it to see what the big deal is for the end.
