I didn't much like this comic, the only thing I liked about this was how sassy Superboy is all the time.

I was surprised at the different take on Superboy...very edgy. I liked it a lot though.

There's just something inherently wrong about making Superboy, the kid who based his entire existence to copying the Man of Steel but "younger and hipper," into ye average telekinetic tykebomb full of angst that just feels so wrong.
Damn you New 52...damn you to the rhyming hell of Etrigan's toilet...

Wow, I liked this a whole lot more than I thought I would! It's got really great writing and adequate art (it's not bad but it's nothing special; it gets the job done.)
I think I might like Superboy more than Superman because he's a bit of a dark character. I also liked the first couple of Teen Titans New 52 volumes so I was already sort of familiar with Superboy too. It's good to know his origin story now though. Superboy and Wonder Girl together is also an awesome pairing - whether they're on the same team or fighting each other.
So, yay, finally another "Super" title that isn't boring.

This was surprisingly good! I have been avoiding Superboy and all things Red Robin for...reasons I’m not entirely sure of. Dumb reason apparently.
I found this volume oddly refreshing. A bit repetitive as far as Kon’s internal turmoil but hey, he’s four months old. I’ll cut him some slack. And he had some great growth in just these handful of issues. On to Teen Titans to see how that fight started!

So Superboy is another DC character I have limited knowledge of. In fact, my thought was that he was the child of Superman, although I suppose that doesn't make a ton of sense. Regardless, in the New 52, he's genetically cloned from Superman cells (I think), and he's super powerful and...
Well, it's like all I want to tell him is to "cheer up, emo kid," because this is just a frustrating arc where not a lot of interesting things happen, a lot blows up, Supergirl shows up (which is the best part), and we deal with 75% of the dialogue being Superboy's internal monologue.
Not the best thing in the ranks by any regard. Didn't work for me at all, unfortunately.
