That's actually kinda epic.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

It actually kind of is!

Ah SB-Prime you've definitely got the skills- way to type you child.

[salamangkiero.insanejournal.com]

OMFG, hahahaha~!

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

This isn't bad. Are they trying to say that Earth-prime is a sort of Jungian collective unconscience that directs other universes ?!?

Its not hard to tell when its's lunchtime on wensday at scansdaily :)

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

Earth Prime is our earth. DC comics publishes the adventures of characters in other universes in the multiverse. Clark is the only 'superhero' in our world.

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

... you know, now that i think of it, this is pretty much what I imagine the Time Trapper would do all day.

[arbre_rieur.insanejournal.com]

Perfect.

If Johns started this displaying this sort of humor in his work more often, I'd find it much more tolerable.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

I've said many, many times, Prime(in Johns' hands) was always Johns' satire of fanboys.

[dreamreaver.insanejournal.com]

I posted this onto /co/, and I'll say it again:

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[xammax.insanejournal.com]

That is awesome!!!!

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Ahahaha, that's awesome. Guess he really is the whiny fanboy now.

Also, I am much amused by his finger-typing. Honestly, EmoboyPrime, go take a typing class or something!

[kingrockwell]

Kryptonian super-speed, he doesn't have to worry about typing faster!
also i totally type like that, even after typing classes :(

Obligatory link (http://dcboards.warnerbros.com/web/thread.jspa?threadID=2000188640&start=0&tstart=0) to the thread in the book.

[kingrockwell]

Now I wanna know which poster is him!

[savok.insanejournal.com]

As much as I hate DC's need to mock what they consider to be the whiny fans, I just can't help but love this, it's too perfect.

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

Prime isn't a whiny fan, he's a good old troll.

[thandrak.insanejournal.com]

Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

That does make an eerie amount of sense. The DC Message Boards are kind of like a breeding pool for fledgling psychopathic super-villains.

[stig.insanejournal.com]

And of course, Newsarama is a maturation creche where they are conditioned to reach purer levels of Dickness. I hear, for instance, that "Herald" is set to become the newer improved version of Arthur Light.

[(Anonymous)]

Hang on, so now Earth-Prime has an insane Silver Age Superman with no heroes there to stop him?

[magus_69.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much. And he all but admits that he killed his former girlfriend after she rejected him.

[stig.insanejournal.com]

I imagine he just punched the Time Trapper, but I'm in love with the idea of him standing there with his fist buried in his face, ala early Mad Magazine parodies...

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

he punched his trapper self

[nymphgalatea.insanejournal.com]

This is the perfect ending for Prime. There really could be no other.

God bless you, Geoff Johns. You are completely insane & I love you.

[drakyndra.insanejournal.com]

My God. A supervillain whose evil deeds actually are Internet trolling.

This is a thing of hilarious joy and wonderment.

[majingojira.insanejournal.com]

And Superboy Prime literally becomes what he was only represenative of before: a Strawman version of a comic book fanboy.

That's not epic, that's kinda lazy actually. Hell, the use of any strawman is lazy.

I just hope we never see the stereotyped "villain" again.

In any form.

[starwolf_oakley.insanejournal.com]

Alexander Luthor and The Earth-2 Superman were Strawmen as well. DC knew many fans just didn't like how gloomy thing were in the DCU, and put those words in the mouths of Alex, Kal-L and Superboy Prime.

So, it was pretty much the villains of INFINITE CRISIS who thought the DCU had to lighten up a little bit. And they were agreeing with the fans.

[lencannon.insanejournal.com]

hahahahahahahahaha

all of you are superboy prime

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

I am Superboy Prime and so is my wife

[alschroeder.insanejournal.com]

WIN.

SB-Prime as the world's most bitter fanboy?

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

EPIC/METAL!

One question: did he lose his powers?

[synnerman.insanejournal.com]

Good thing to know DC's moral compass is still in play: kill billions, get released on a helpless earth to murder and maim as you wish.

This is not a happy ending. The bad guy wins again.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

he's currently powerless. Or mostly.

And they revealed that the third Legion was the Legion of Earth-Prime. I wonder if this is why adults end up so repressive.

And then there's the fact a Superman look alike showed up in that one issue of Legion of Superheroes. Could've been him.

[ninjapeps.insanejournal.com]

oh God, I MUST read this.

[shanejayell.insanejournal.com]

*snerk*

But I thought all S-Prime wanted was to GO HOME?!

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

then he found out his parents read Final Crisis.

[batcookies.insanejournal.com]

Once upon a time, DC gave us a representative from "our" world that was a nice guy that liked comics.

Now their representative from "our" world is a monster that hates everything.

I'm kinda saddened by this shift.
