Title: Taking Time Post by: Phillip Carson II on January 13, 2005, 05:57:18 PM I just finished reading Taking Time, and man, what a fantastic story. I'm a 20 year old college student and Comic Book enthusiast who has been reading comics since before he could read. The concept of Superboy has always left me a little torn. I couldn't reconcile the fact that both Clark and Superboy come from the same small town and settle in the same city with no one close to him ever putting two and two together. But at the same time, the concept of a teenager with god-like powers and unshakable morals intrigued and inspired me like nothing else. That is why I am glad for sites like this one, which seem to understand that the nature of Superman is now rooted in myth. Like any myth or legend, it is open to a multitude of interpretations. From Kypton, to Superboy, to the very nature of Clark and Lex's relationship, I'm glad there is a place where continutiy is not a fierce issue, and people can indulge in any aspect or version of the myth they so choose.
