Adventure Comics #5 - Earth Prime Superboy question
Ohioguy
number 5. It was a "Blackest Night" story, and involved Earth Prime
Superboy battling a number of the 'deadites'.
Then the story really went out there in left field, and had him
flying through the offices of DC Comics, blaming all of the comic
artists for making him the way he is!
Finally, it ended up with him reunited with some girl he used to
love, who was dead, but revealed at the end to be wearing one of the
black lantern rings.
Not really sure what they are implying, since the comic went all over
the place. Are they implying that he is killed and incorporated into
the Black Lantern Corps?

Well, that's the nature of Earth Prime...stuff that happens in regular
DCU is published as comic books there so Prime thought he was reading
his future in the comics and that he was going to die.

Actually, I could be wrong, but I think that was a WHITE lantern
ring...the only other white lantern we've seen was the original Dove.

I thought the implication was that they were trying to redeem him and
give him his happy ending, but I'm not sure.

Wasn't this part of Blackest Night? In that case to expect it to hang
together or make sense is an unreasonable demand.

Definitely wrong. It has the Black Lantern symbol on it and it is
detecting Hope, which is the one emotion that SBP didn't show during his
fight with the Black Lanterns... the one they were trying to get at all
along and the one underneath all that rage.

Not Sure
Please kill yourself.

I stand corrected then...I really didn't pay all that much attention
to the story as I find Prime less and less interesting with each
appearance...and I'm not even particularly impressed with Blackest
Night.

And obviously SBP didn't read to the end of the comic book otherwise
he would have been prepared for that particular ending.

news:iojcj51uus6s6okr3...@4ax.com:
He only read to the end of the =previous= issue before being attacked and
flying off to the NYC; in his "reality", the second part hadn't come out
yet. Remember how that freaked him out?
(And, in a weird meta way, he was "actually" writing that second part for
the folks at DC to put down on paper, what with the appearance and the
fighty-fighty and the generally elevated level of chaos in the offices.)
(Well, "elevated" in the sense of, say, Giffen sitting at home vs. Giffen
at work, anyway...)
