I've got a soft spot for the classics. I like this retro Superboy era and who doesn't love a good team up. It was a little funny how often they dipped into the time travel and subsequent amnesia well, but I can overlook it I suppose. I thought the team up stories with Aquaboy and Batlad (aka The Executioner)were the standouts, mostly because they weren't time travel or imaginary stories but rather just early team ups between these iconic characters. I felt like the young Bruce Wayne in this story was much more dark and angry than Batman typically was in that era. I also was intrigued to learn that there was some precedence for some things that happened on the TV series Smallville. Such as Jimmy Olsen, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and Aquaman in Smallville. Also that idea of Lex living in Smallville and starting out as a friend of Superboy had it's origin in this time. Overall, a fun collection. I wouldn't mind reading more.
