Host Anthony Desiato presents another double feature as the "All-Star Superboy" event draws to an epic conclusion! First, Anthony and guest Scott Honig dig into Geoff Johns' legendary run on TEEN TITANS with artist Mike McKone and others — which revealed that half of Superboy's DNA came from Lex Luthor, introduced the now-iconic t-shirt & jeans look, and established the Conner Kent civilian identity.
THEN! Anthony welcomes first-time guest Adam Daltorio to dig into the post-resurrection, pre-New 52 Conner stories "The Boy of Steel" (from ADVENTURE COMICS by Geoff Johns & Francis Manapul) and "Smallville Attacks" (from the 2010-2011 SUPERBOY series by Jeff Lemire & Pier Gallo).
The episode also addresses Conner's 2019 return to continuity, current status quo, and adaptations on SMALLVILLE, YOUNG JUSTICE, and TITANS.
This marks the conclusion of the podcast's Conner Kent coverage. Thank you all for listening, and be sure to come back next week. The Road to Episode 200 is at hand!
