Superboy: ”Countdown to Nowhere” (1988) Commentary
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Come one come all to a brand new series here at The Novice Elitists Headquarters. Now that we've finished up our initial Justice League series, we're switching gears to focusing on individual team members, starting with our boy Supes. I would have said 'Superman' but we're not quite at those manly days yet, and are instead turning our eyes to the Smallville years of The Man of Steel. Emphasis on the Small, and not so much on the ville, as we look at the pilot to Superboy! Set in Florida...for some reason.
