==Revival== [[File:Adventure comics v2 01.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cover of ''Adventure Comics'' #504 vol. 2 #1, art by [[Francis Manapul]].]] The five-issue miniseries ''[[Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds]]'' led into an all-new volume of ''Adventure Comics'', featuring the revived [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Conner Kent/Superboy]] and the [[Legion of Super-Heroes]].<ref>{{gcdb series|id= 32602|title= Adventure Comics ''vol. 2''}}</ref> The main creative team of [[Geoff Johns]] and [[Francis Manapul]] debuted in a backup story in ''Adventure Comics'' #0 (April 2009).<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/110817-AdventureComics.html | title=DiDio Confirms ''Adventure Comics'' Return | first= Matt | last= Brady | date= November 17, 2008 | publisher= [[Newsarama]] | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081120070440/http://www.newsarama.com/comics/110817-AdventureComics.html | archive-date= November 20, 2008 | access-date= August 19, 2012}}</ref> A secondary feature starring the Legion of Super-Heroes was co-written with Mike Shoemaker and drawn by [[Clayton Henry]]. The first issue of the new run of ''Adventure Comics'' was released on August 12, 2009, and features watermarked numbering marking it as both #1 ''and'' #504, thus continuing the original numeration of the series concurrently with the volume 2 numeration. For the variant incentive cover editions, the original numeration was dominant on the cover while the vol. 2 numeration was the watermarked numbering marking. The indicia of the comic book also reflects this dual numbering. The title officially returned to its original vol. 1 numbering with #516 (cover dated September 2010), until #529 when it was finally ended prior to DC's [[The New 52]] company reboot. ===Main feature=== ====Superboy: The Boy of Steel (former)==== The revived ongoing title ''Adventure Comics'' features Conner as the headlining character for the first six issues in the story arc entitled, "Superboy: The Boy of Steel". It begins as Conner settles back into his life in [[Smallville (comics)|Smallville, Kansas]]. Returning to live with Martha Kent, who is thrilled to take the young boy in after her husband's death, Conner returns to Smallville High School and begins keeping a journal of everything Superman has done as a costumed hero, going down a checklist titled, "What Did Superman Do?" He and the also recently returned [[Bart Allen]] supposedly rejoin the [[Teen Titans]], and Conner symbolizes the team being "stacked" again by destroying his memorial statue outside of Titans Tower West. ====Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes==== After the Johns and Manapul run, writer [[Paul Levitz]] took over the series. It was renumbered with its previous numbering and highlighted Clark Kent's years as Superboy as well as the Legion of Super-Heroes' past. Starting with issue #523, the Legion Academy, by Levitz and [[Phil Jimenez]], became the major feature. ===Second feature=== ====Long Live the Legion (former)==== The Legion of Super-Heroes appeared as the second feature in issues #504β514 before taking over as the lead feature in issue #515 (August 2010). ====Atom==== Following this was the [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]] ''[[Brightest Day]]: [[The Atom|Atom]]'', written by [[Jeff Lemire]] with art by [[Mahmud Asrar]]. The same team was to create a ten-part, ten-page "Atom" co-feature in ''Adventure Comics'', but DC ended all its second features and reduced its titles to twenty pages of story. Issue #521 was the last issue to feature the Atom.<ref>{{Cite web | first=Jeffrey | last=Renaud | url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25682 | title= Lemire Embiggens Ray Palmer | work=Comic Book Resources | publisher= [[Comic Book Resources]] | date= April 13, 2010 | access-date= April 13, 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100415004809/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25682 | archive-date= April 15, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref>
