Superman #39 Preview

 

Superboy-Prime wants to earn his Superman status. He has vowed to demonstrate that he has turned over a new leaf. Even Jonathan and Martha Kent seem inclined to give "CK" a chance to prove himself. Yet as Superboy-Prime works on a redemption arc, someone creeps into his mind. 

Like CK's new occult friend, Manchester Black also wants to return to his former world. So as he prepares his big entrance, he chooses CK to help him. Can Superboy-Prime resist Manchester Black's control like he shrugged off Witchfire's spell? Or will CK become a slave to the man's whims, and demonstrate to everyone that he doesn't belong in the Justice League?

Superboy-Prime Versus…DC Comics?

 

 

Superboy-Prime loves comics. He’s a Wednesday Warrior and has read a lot of continuity. But a classic Superman villain has banished Prime into different issues he hasn’t read! Get ready for a wild ride across the DC Universe as Prime is dragged kicking and screaming across past events, lost reboots, relaunches, and restarts! If he doesn’t find his way back to Metropolis, he will be lost forever!
