Thats actually not true..
The first Superboy Series lasted from 1994-2002 (8 YEARS!) and the sales were very good-especially during the first years, he sold for example up to 37,400 units in 1996, while Superman sold 62,700 units. So his first Solo-Series was relatively successfull, And during this series was wearing 3 different costumes:
1 the original costume
2 the black shirt (while powerless) with the golden S Shield
3 the other costume with red pants, blue-red jacket and red Sunglasses
My problem with the Ongoing-Series is
1 (and I also read that several times in the internet) that Conner looks extremely young in the series.
2 The Series feels like an EXTREME Step-Back! Conner is now a established Hero who fought against Doomsday, Darkseid, Mongul+Cyborg Superman, Ultraman (even it was his clone), SUperboy Prime (he even sacrificied his life)... So the series feels more like a Series written for a Rookie and not the next step for Conner...
It feels more like Superboy and the Ravers or the beginning of Young Justice and NOT!! a next step to graduate..
3 He doesnt have any real co-star or big enemy in the series, he is the only big name
Actually I prefer the NEW52 Telekinesis Look.
Not really:
1. WHICH Black Zero?
The "Original One" with the sunglasses and the beard, who came from another timeline OR! the Titans Black Zero who was created by Blackfire?
2. It EXTREMELY depends upon who writes it:
Conner was able to hurt Superboy Prime AND Match was able to relatively easily defeat Ultraman.
3. If its the original Black Zero then he might not have Full Kryptonian Powers and therefore being more vulnerable and weaker than Conner.
Actually I think it could be that SINS OF YOUTH SUPERMAN CONNER and TITANS OF TOMORROW SUPERMAN CONNER might be MUCH more powerful than Black Zero.
SINS OF YOUTH Superman Conner seemed to have Full TK and TITANS OF TOMORROW SUPERMAN Conner was also extremely powerful.
NO! Absolutely NOT TRUE.
I still think that the best pairing was INJUSTICE CONNER AND INJUSTICE CASSIE.
What do you think about the ongoing Series
Superboy: Man of Tomorrow
?
I must say I DON'T LIKE IT.
1.) Conner looks EXTREMELY young, I still prefer his TT Look where he was much more muscular and looked older.
He now looks like 14 years and maybe even younger than Jon.
2.) He seems to be MUCH LESS POWERFUL than normal.
Seen as when he tried to catch this gigantic Worm-Monster
He mentions that he needs all his strenght BUT it should be NO Problem for him.
3.) I dont really get some parts of the story:
When he received this power-dampening collar he mentions that Cassie would have ripped the collar away with her demi-god powers.
This implies that he thinks that Cassie is more powerful than he is.
BUT actually he was ALWAYS stronger than Cassie, MUCH stronger
AND why didnt he even he try to destroy the collar with TTK?
4.) He should have been the one who defeats the big Enemy, it made him look weak.
5.) The series seems actually to be a BIG STEPBACK for him, it feels more like Superboy and the Ravers or Young Justice 2.0 than a real step forward for him.
It feels more like a rookie making his first steps than an established Superhero who has more than 30 Years of experience.
In general I have to say that I very much preferred the Suicide Squad Series with Match, because Match looked better and cooler than Conner (Superboy Man of Tomorrow) in the series, he was displayed to be very powerful (able to easily defeat Ultraman) and found a girlfriend.
What I really DONT UNDERSTAND and REALLY HATE!!!!
Why is the Conner in the Young Justice ANIME SERIES so much better written than the Comic Conner?
I mean I am NOT a Fan of Anime Young Justice Conner because of his lack of powers, BUT!
1. The relationship between Conner and Clark, Jonathan Samuel Kent... is so MUCH BETTER written, I loved the moment when Clark explained to Jonathan that Conner died and showed him the pictures of his uncle Conner and him
2. He is much better established as Hero and respected in the community, he is even the leader of the Team
3. His relationship with Miss Martian is better written and he finally marries etc.
Its annoying to see that the Young Justice Anime is SO MUCH better written than the Comic-Series.
It isn't bad by any stretch,it's just not where he should be as a character.
If he was the right age,size,maturity,had all his history thst he is supposed to this would look a lot different and I personally would love it.
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
Heh, Conner swapped the t-shirt for a wifebeater (just googled it and the official name is an “A-shirt but I never heard anyone refer to it as that ).
Kinda interested to see what Kessel does in the Return Anniversary Special but these nostalgia books where old creators come back rarely impress me.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Thsts not a wife beater shirt in my post,thsts just a cut off sleeve shirt lol,but yeah he looks cool in it.but remember in his old series and other places he would alwsys wear different types of S swag lol.
I've been wanting kesel and grummett to do something with kon for forever now,but not a anniversary type thing where it's clearly stuck in the past or not anything but a puff type story.i would love for them to get a mini of their own,and actually take the next step with him,outsode of being what they created.

If kon could disrupt Ol hanks signals to everything outside the phantom zone,couldn't or shouldn't his TTK be able to stop Ol hank from taking over his body?
And Btw,why is it Conner who alwsys gets taken down 1st in AC.
