Unspoken Issues #172 - Superboy and the Ravers #1

The Unspoken Issues crew is heading straight into one of the most gloriously 1996 concepts imaginable: Superboy at an intergalactic rave! Jesse Starcher and Chris Armstrong continue their “96 Number Ones” series with the July poll winner, Superboy and the Ravers #1 by Karl Kesel, Steve Mattsson, Paul Pelletier, and company. What starts as a mysterious party in Hawaii quickly turns into a sprawling cosmic gathering packed with aliens, metahumans, strange new characters, suspicious organizers, a literal bouncer who can actually bounce Superboy, and an arena built for settling super-powered arguments. Jesse and Chris dig into the unmistakably ’90s attitude of this version of Superboy, the wonderfully weird Event Horizon concept, newcomers like Hero, Aura, Kaliber, the Corpse Corps, and InterC.E.P.T., and why this oddball DC spinoff may have more potential than either host expected. Break out the leather jacket, get your hand stamped, and join the Neverending Party!
