Ultraman Fights Crime Syndicate For Jon Kent Superboy?! Plus A HUGE Cliffhanger Final Page!

A good chunk of the issue is Jon Kent Superboy explaining to his parents Kal-el / Clark Kent Superman and Lois Lane where he has been, particularly how’s aged…

…he escaped his grandfather Jor-el / Mr. Oz and ended up on Earth 3 with the Crime Syndicate an evil Justice League.

The Crime Syndicate’s Clark Kent / Ultraman and evil Superman…

…wins Jon Kent Superboy from his Crime Syndicate “colleagues”…

…and traps him in an active volcano.

Superboy can’t escape…

…and is taunted and tortured for an unspecified period of time by his dad’s evil doppelgänger.

Seeing how Ultraman’s tantrums impact the volcano…

…gives Superboy the idea to create a volcano bomb of sorts that belches him out of it!

He heals and then breaks into the Crime Syndicate’s HQ thinking its like the Justice League’s HQ and may have the tech to allow him to call Earth 1 and his parents, but…

…the Crime Syndicate’s Lois Lane / Superwoman foils and captures him!

The Pulse:

Another compelling issue with two top artists working on the present and flashbacks respectively. Awesome! An enjoyable read. 9 out of 10.
