I don't even read Superboy (yet) and I still want a shirt like this because of Kon. (One of those cases where being in another fandom has made me love a character in one I'm not a part of yet. I'm a Young Avengers fan. So many crossovers. XD)

Also this secret made me "daww" out loud.

[krillia.livejournal.com]

Just throwing out here (and trying to remain objective): If you're looking for the Kon that usually shows up in fanworks I suggest reading the pre-reboot Superboy rather than the new series.

Old Superboy was fun-loving and slightly ridiculous, with a few insecurities based on the fact that he's a clone and not knowing who he was supposed to be, but in an inspiring, touching way. Endearing and well-worth cheering for. He had friends who built robotic frogs and a pet dog whose favorite game was fetching manhole covers.

New Superboy so far got rid of all the fun in favor of angst and violence. Which some people seem to be really enjoying but, to me, just isn't Kon.

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

No worries--I wanted to read Superboy before the reboot, and I've been...really, really hesitant to pick up ANYTHING from the New DCU. Everything I think I'll love about Kon is definitely everything pre-reboot you described here. You're not the only one I've heard this opinion from, so if I do pick up anything about Superboy, it'll definitely be from before the reboot. ^^

Also your icon is adorable. <3333

[krillia.livejournal.com]

Ok, I just thought I'd warn you. DC is touting the reboot as a point for new people to jump on and get involved without confusion. So...yeah. It would be tragic for you to buy into that and get something completely different from what you were expecting.

Icon is from Adventure Comics 6/509 (They both kept numbering and restarted from 1 in 2009. It was a bit weird). End of an arc where Kon is trying to figure out if being a clone means having to be like his parent DNA, and ends up being chased by dinosaurs. :D

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. @_@ I'm a Marvel, but that puts me enough in the paying-attention-to-comics circle that I know what's going on. And I do not like it. >_< But yes, thank you much for the warning. XD Also, thank you VERY much for the ref for your icon! Clearly, I need to find this.

[krillia.livejournal.com]

I largely identify as a Marvel fan myself, although I spend sizable amounts of money energy on both of the big 2. I don't like it either. Seeing the rebooted versions is a bit like watching long-time friends get slaughtered and resurrected as bestial, hideous zombies.

Arc starts in Adventure Comics #1/504. It's a good read, and the artist is one of my favorites in the business. I think the only specific backstory you'd need to know to read it is that Superboy, in his final retcon before the reboot, is a clone created from the DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor. If you're a comic fan I think you can probably fill in the blanks on the other stuff. Or check Wiki. :D

Kon is pretty awesome. Or he was. I haven't read the new series yet.
