Adventure Comics – DC Comics – (2009–2010) – Volume 2 – #0–12

📘 Series Summary

This volume, running 13 issues from #0 to #12, served as a dynamic, modern revival of the classic Adventure Comics title, focusing heavily on the enduring legacies of Superboy (Conner Kent) and the Legion of Super-Heroes. Written by Geoff Johns, the series positioned itself at the epicenter of major DC Universe crossovers, providing essential character development and narrative movement for the core characters.

The central storyline explored Superboy's ongoing struggle with his identity and his connection to the 31st century, firmly re-establishing his bond with the Legion. The narrative balanced high-stakes cosmic adventure with deep emotional character work, dealing with the implications of the "New Krypton" storyline and the looming dread of the Blackest Night crossover, which directly impacted several issues. The series maintained a strong tone of hope and expansive science fiction that defined the title's best earlier runs.

Although short-lived, this volume is considered a pivotal run for its featured characters, successfully bridging the classic mythology with contemporary DC continuity. After issue #12, the series transitioned back to the original historic numbering structure, continuing its long-established legacy.
