So - with tongue firmly planted in cheek, we’ve got your Infinite Crisis #6 page by page guide with mild annotations, some of which may even be correct…

[Superman of America]

I have to agree that was the best issue of the series. Superboy's death was heroic and the scene with Cassie put me to tears(yes, I'm man enough to admit that).

[Genis Vell]

That statue (or one like it) was also in the latest issue of Action Comics.

I liked the Kid back when Karl Kesel was having fun with him, and there was a good Jeph Loeb issue, but that's about it.  I just couldn't get excited about a teenager who popped fully grown from a test-tube.

Ditto for me. And SUPERMAN #155 is one of my favorite post-Crisis stories ever.

[DoctorZero]

He did go out, at least, with a hero's death.  

What's this about the Seigel's owning Superboy?

But anyway, I liked the early issues of the Superboy (clone) comic.  Later on I didn't care for the changes.  I suspect a boy of steel one day will return to the DC Universe.

What's this about the Seigel's owning Superboy?

They owned him since 2004! That's two years already. In fact I am sure I made a thread about here two years ago.

[Superman of America]

Did DC/WB ever try to settle with the Seigels or are the Seigels holding out for a bigger piece of the cut?

[Great Rao]

If WB is staying true to form, they are most likely completely denying that the Siegels have ever had any right or claim at all and are perpetually appealing and re-appealing everything - thus forcing the Siegels to drag it out in court for so long that they'll never get any money.  Standard big company tactic, and probably the only way that WB can continue to claim any ownership rights on their own side.  They grasp with an iron fist in the fear that they will lose it all.

[DoctorZero]

This is probably why DC has continued to use Conner and brought back the Superboy of Earth Prime anyway.  I have  question, can DC use the name "Superboy" at all for a different character?
