SUPERBOY THE MAN OF TOMORROW #1 (OF 6) – After the events of Dark Crisis, Conner Kent is back, but he feels out of place with the rest of the hero community. He doesn’t fit in with the rest of the Superman Family, and he doesn’t want to rely on Tim, Cassie, and Bart. Instead he looks to the stars as a place he might be able to call his own. But are bravado and swagger enough to overcome what lurks in the great unknown?
