I’m loving the depth of this series. Absolutely love how Conner is written through with being smart and clever with certain situations.

There was a page in this issue that hints that Kon isn't looking for a way forward on Earth, but is running away from moving forward, and it's the kind of insight I really appreciate.

Yeah, it's not just Conner messing around, he's definitely trying to find something. Problem is, he's having trouble working out what that is!

A speedster, a warrior, and a tech nerd?

Conner's new friends are just Space Young Justice. :)

Yeah, I think we're supposed to make that connection, especially given the "I bet you don't know anyone like that back on Earth" bit.

He's a bit young (no pun intended) to go around having a mid-life crisis and replacing all his friends with younger ones, isn't he?

[zachbeacon]

Does he still have the whole Peter Pan thing going on?

I feel like they mostly abandoned that in the Titan era but knowing he'd never grow up used to be a big part of his character. It's got to be weird for Connor that Jon appears to be older than he is.

That got fixed in Young Justice during the arc where Klarion swapped the ages of the Teens and their Mentors.

Conner got his stuck non aging dna fixed as a result of a scientist seeing how his body was fighting itself trying to age cause of the spell but not being able to.

It was an arc that had a lot of important moments like him finally telling Clark he knew who he was and the death of Tana Moon.
