The only single 'criticism' is that it lacks the panel from Superboy 203 showing Mon-El surrounding the intruders with his cape. In my mind the single best piece of art in comicdom (even over some of Adam's Inhumans work which comes in 2nd) Lar Gand fan from way backhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246939623402859613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-22931134661125010022017-04-25T16:46:05.505-04:002017-04-25T16:46:05.505-04:00Great synopsis of Mon-El.

I wouldn't dream of trying to keep up with with all the tangled up DC continuities, time line shifts, collapsing and multiplying parallel dimensions, and reboots, It's hard to care as much about the characters when they have no stable who (or what, why, when, or where) but it's nice to be able to get a good recap and just try to enjoy the story.
