Superboy #28 review

Sometimes it’s hard to be a Legion of Super-Heroes fan, grabbing onto every comic with the smallest link to the 31st-Century’s greatest super-team. Hence I had to buy another issue of the pretty appalling Superboy series. Look at that cover – is this a new Legion of Super-Villains in the future currently being visited by […]

Superboy #26 review
