ADVENTURE COMICS #6
Written by Geoff Johns
Art and covers by Francis Manapul
    Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul say goodbye (for now) to Superboy with a spectacular 30-page issue! Ever since Superboy returned from the grave, he has been obsessed with Lex Luthor, believing that there must be some good in the master villain somewhere. So for Luthor, it’s time to put up or shut up. With Superman off planet, it’s time to do some good for the planet earth. Superboy is willing to do what it takes to make Lex’s dreams come true, but what Superboy will discover is that one man’s dreams, are another man’s nightmares.
    Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers. For every 10 copies of the Standard Edition (with a cover by Francis Manapul), retailers may order one copy of the Variant Edition (with a cover by Francis Manapul and renamed and renumbered ADVENTURE COMICS #509). Please see the Previews Order Form for more information.

Lana's dead? LANA LANG IS FINALLY DEAD?!

*someone sneaks across and whisper's in Zordboy's ear*

Oh, we're not talking about the "Smallville" version? *sigh* :( Knew it was too good to be true. Oh well, never mind.

OTOH, Superboy versus a Tyrannosaurus. I'm onboard for that.

I doubt Lana is dead. She may have to fake her death though, regarding whatever sinister reason her sickness is, well, there.

I think she'll die, but she'll be brought back to life somehow.

Those Daily Planet employees are really fake-dropping like flies these days! Is Lois gonna fake-die now, too?

Yah, but what kind of crazy hospital requires surgical dress to enter the emergency room? Or is just a normal operating room with an inexplicable "Emergency" sign over the door?

The sad thing is it *is* beautiful. But would it have killed them to think about it for 10 seconds? Maybe visit a hospital?

Yes, it is. We can't even see her face, so all the worry and despair are done with just her pose alone.

Really nice art on the Supergirl cover but I doubt she's really dead because they wouldn't give that away so quick right? I looked quickly at the sign on the door and thought it said "Supergirl attire required beyond this point" then I looked again.

Really? Killing off support characters during the zombie event. Can you at least show some restraint DC?

I doubt it's connected to the Black Lantern storyline.

Oh, poor Kara. Kid can't catch a break. OT, but does anyone know when she's getting her new costume?

Superboy is willing to do what it takes to make Lex’s dreams come true

This sounds like it should either be a Christmas issue or a lead-in to some serious squick. Either way, should be nice to see Kon's issues with Lex get wrapped up a bit. Plus, dinosaurs!

edited again again again because oh my god I fail at typing and html tonight...my kingdom for an edit button, seriously

When they announce the death in the solicit it's never that straightforward (quite beyond that I in no way believe that Lana is going to die in a Supergirl book).

Man, Supergirl is getting some really nice covers nowadays.


Also, damnnit on Francis Manapul saying goodbye to Kon, even if it's just for now. People tend to draw him all steroid-y and gross. I was enjoying having a regular Superboy fix too...

Huh. No Legion backup in Adventure? And why the renumbering for the variant cover?

I wonder what DC's stance is on public opinion on Kon considering he is half kryptonian. Is he going to be hated by the general public because of his ties to Superman or will they accept that he's half human. Personally I hope when Mon-El returns the whole 'world against Superman' thing goes away but since they reset the number's in the diamonds I don't think that will happen.

I love these covers!

But really, I wanna see a poll. Who thinks they'll actually kill Lana?? (and eventually bring her back, but that goes without speaking, really).

I can't decide if I want to cheer for a possible Lana death or not. In good hands she's fine. I was enjoying her for the most part in Supergirl. But then you have those who make her just.. ugh. Horrid.

I'm so torn! I don't know what to think now!

That is some unfortunate colouring on the adventure cover. I'm not sad to see the back of Kon, I'm sad to see Krypto leave. I hope krypto and the legion of super-pets get the back up. (although I suspect the subs will get it)

I also second the Supergirl art book although maybe not just with Middleton covers but some Noto, Igle, Kitson, Turner, Mooney, Infantino, Oskner, Perez

SO who is covering for the Adventure comics for issue 7?

Don't worry folks, I'm sure Lana will come back in a couple years as a xenocidal maniac determined to kill all Kryptonians. Maybe she'll even turn one of her kids into her "secret weapon."

Wow, those look interesting. If I hadn't been scarred horribly by previous encounters with modern DC, I would be tempted to go out and buy those.

As it is, I will stick to my usual scheme of "Wait, and if they're any good they'll be gathered into trade paperbacks and made available at my local public library."

Hmmm, where have I seen a cover like SUPERGIRL #49 before...?

Oh, right.

SUPERGIRL #48.
