Superboy's team-up with the Cosmoteers is yielding rocky results. While they're taking down many of Dominator X's labs, their team dynamics leave much to be desired. Can this new quartet pull themselves together when Dominator X unleashes his most monstrous creation yet...the hulking Infinity?!

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jun 20, 2023Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #3 is an energetic adventure. Whilst it is full of epic situations and a Superboy space battle in the beginning, it is also an example of masterful storytelling. Misdirections and shifts in the dialogue add layers to the script, taking a seemingly straightforward story and adding a completely separate tone. It provides the next part of this arc with a huge amount of strength to keep it maintained, with an art style that is not only gorgeous but intelligent too. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Jun 20, 2023The adventure plot that this series is built on is fun enough, but Conners character arc is where the meat of the story lies. Superboy Man of Tomorrow #3 complicates that story and raises anticipation for future issues more than either of the first two entries in the series. Read Full Review

Jun 30, 2023And worse, it looks like he has set up the Cosmoteers to look like murderers. The Corps is on the case. As a long time fan of Conner, I really am appreciating this book. The story is fun. The character beats for Conner are right on target. And the art is perfect for the story. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jun 21, 2023The specific novelty of Superboy working with a group of adventurers could wear off in a few issues if Porter continues to take a manga-inspired approach to the ensemble. The writer is clearly telegraphing plot points issues in advance...and those plot points dont seem to be all that interesting. Hes going to have to find a fresh approach to old sci-fi ensemble tropes if hes going to continue to navigate relatively fresh territory with this particular Superboy. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Jun 13, 2023Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #3 gives you all the basics of what you want out of a Conner Kent comic. You get big action, strong dialog, plot twists, and great art. Unfortunately, the issue lacks heart, and Conner is the least interesting aspect of this comic. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2023The issue feels like it's missing a lot of its emotional core, something that makes the surprising twist near the end a little hollow where it's supposed to feel ominous. Read Full Review

This is clearly a far better book if you havent dived deep into Superboy lore. As a newer person to reading Superboy this isnt bad, but as some have pointed out, it is sort of missing something from making it great. Its good, but missing flair. Its like a dark take on the legion of superheroes for Superboy. It need a great hook, twist or something in issue 4 or I fear it really wont have any lasting impact. It is hard to judge and rate. Its not bad, the colouring is good, but it lacks pop. If you are newer to Superboy though its quite fun. Also as everyone else mentions, what is going on with his hair?

I read this two hours ago and it's fading from memory already. This version of Conner never pops, and the story is interesting only in fits and starts. The "preview" for an Alan Scott comic that will never be looks great and reads like we got lucky it was aborted.

The story is enjoyable, but few not so subtle jabs at readers seeking to reclaim what the original series was. Yes, fans enjoyed Superboy and yes they want a series where Conner Kent is back as the main focus. The hardest part of this series is buy in because it's a limited series. If they restored the time line for Conner Kent and made it on going they might actually have a book that sells.
