DC Comics released a sneak peek of Superboy #5 that features a race between Superboy and Kid Flash. Hmmm… something seems very familiar about this…

Time to nitpick – 6th page, 2nd pannel down (third if you count the inset one): Misspelled Steve “Danton.” Should’ve been Dayton, right? As in Mento of a version of Doom Patrol?

The Beating a Dead Horse picture at the end is classic. What’s next? Are they going to redo the story where Superman has a bowling contest against Clark Kent? And, yes, that was a real Superman cover, once.
I give up. Seriously.
Has anyone ever seen Superboy do anything that even remotely looks like being super fast before? I thought he was all about tactile telekinesis being a supplement to his underwhelming half-Kryptonian-ness or some such crap.
Bleh.
