Captain Comet's use here feels like a conscious evocation of New 52 Action Comics.

(General Lane, meanwhile, continues to fit in the " military antagonist to Superman " slot.)

This is the most interesting Captain Comet's been in years

So are they going to make Captain Comet a straight up villain or will he just be antagonistic towards Superboy only to later figure out that he was wrong about him?

Comet did show up in the modern day recently with the JLU, so probably more the latter than the former.

I trust that Waid’s got more going on with Comet here than meets the eye… but definitely hard to say what just yet. I just know he’s not the type to arbitrarily make an old hero a villain, especially after weaving new heroic stuff with Comet into the New History.

Ma and Pa being fans was cool though.

Stunt Master says hello ;(

[zylly]

Okay, fair point.

Who's Stunt Master?

Old, old hero Mark Waid brought back in his DD run, and made evil.

I like Mark Waid, but one consistent complaint I have with him is that his villains lack depth. He can be pretty harsh on anti-heroes too, as Shroud can attest.
