Superboy #50(April 1998)

I think this was pretty much where Superboy's comic hit rock bottom...

  2. JT, I don't know if I COULD explain this storyline... Hmm, where do I even start? Well, before I get started, let me state for the record, my recollection of this storyline may be slightly off due to the fact that it was HORRIBLE, and I blocked much of it out of my mind! OK, SB gets struck by lightning and winds up in a land ruled by talking animals. Plus the lightning made SB brain damaged or something... Eventually SB gets his wits back, and there's a whole big story about the king of the animal people(I feel dumber just typing this!)being betrayed by a snake guy and a bat chick. SB foils the plot, and discovers that he's not actually in an alternate dimension, but that he's on some island in the Pacific, which of course leads to(unfortunately!)more stories with SB and the talking animals even after he leaves...

  3. Oh my God thats terrible. That....is just terrible. I don't even see why you reminded yourself of it by posting this scan. Lol really though that sounds awful. How can LIGHTNING hurt him?! Oh wait, he can be shot when he isn't expecting it. Stuff like that really makes SB seem kinda weak.

  4. It was really bad... I swear that I'm missing something though... I can't remember why SB had such long locks. I doubt the lightning did that(although with that sucktacular story, who knows!), so I seem to have left something out. I'll say this much though, I don't think I'll be digging those comics out to refresh my memory!

  5. Lol Please don't for your own well being. Between this, that thing with SB dancing and all that other stuff looks likes the best thing about those comics was Knockout.

  6. Dude, I'm telling you, this series was horrible! It was so bad, I couldn't stop reading it, because I wanted to see just how bad it was going to get(if that makes any sense). Just when you thought one issue was terrible, the next issue would take it to another level! I can tell ya this much, I doubt I'd EVER read this series again!

  7. So is this the worst arc in the series or is there some even worse stuff?

  8. Well, since you know how much I hate talking animals, I think that storyline may be the worst... But that's like asking what's worse, poking out your left eye, or your right one... It sucks either way!

  9. Lol @ That analogy. That's like twelve times funnier because I was watching the office and a dude was like, "Your eyes are the groin of your face."

  10. "Your eyes are the groin of your face." Huh, you know, that's a pretty good point!

  11. Exactly, so you can imagine the intense paid of being hit in both eyes AND The Groin...I wonder if any villains have ever went for a cheapshot to the groin, besides Joker of course.

  12. Oh, I'm sure they have... I'm blanking on specifics though, but then again, I'm running on just about empty right now, so I'm lucky I can string two words together! Damn, it's right there, but I can't recall what comic I saw it happen in... Eh, maybe after some sleep it'll come to me.

  13. Sweet, I'll be waiting if it comes to you. I feel like Cheshire or someone would do that, could've sworn she did it to Roy in that Titans but I may be imagining it.
