DC Universe

After traveling down such a well traversed path in the first issue of Secret Origin, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank take a slight but welcomed detour onto new ground with their second issue. Clark Kent and his Smallville troubles are still very much the way we've seen them in past stories - unable to fit in, play football, have a girlfriend, and just generally be normal - but for the first time since Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's Man of Steel retconned a young Clark Kent as Superboy out of existence, he has made his full fledged return to continuity, along with some other Silver Age concepts that were previously muddied in excessive reimaginings towards the beginning of this decade. Most importantly, issue #2 lets the reader spy in on Clark's first encounter with the Legion of Super-Heroes, a teenage band of superpowered vigilantes from the 30th century inspired by Superman.
