The lead in story which features Lex Luthor and the Parasite as the villians was pretty much just the typical fare for this time period. The only thing of note in the story was how it showcased the "non" lethal parts of the Parasites powers. The example would be how he leeched just enough of Lex's persona to accomplish his goals, but yet not weaken Luthor. Then the way that lex was in turn able to "steal" some of the Parasites powers to animate the Superman statue. Now lets talk about the second story. It was excellent in regards to plot,art and character development. I liked how Pasko was able to make the crimminal be able to take revenge on Jor-El without leaving his confinement. The thing to take away from this story is that I don't beleive this was actually the Earth-1 or Earth-2 Superboy. From depections of Superboy Primes' parents Jonatahn and Martha looked more like his that any other version I have seen of the Earth-1 or Earth 2 versions before. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
