Blackest Night: Rise of the Black Lanterns #[nn]
In "Bye Bye Birdie!", Superboy battles a Black Lantern ring that’s hijacking his mind and forcing him to fight Wonder Girl—only to find a way to break free by summoning Krypto and sending Cassie to the Fortress of Solitude. With help from his loyal dog and a clever use of freeze breath, Conner outsmarts the ring’s control, turning the tide in a fight that hinges on memory, identity, and the power of a single clue. Written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Travis Moore, with inks by Dan Green, Keith Champagne, and Bob Wiacek, and colors by Brian Buccellato, this 2011 issue features a striking cover by Rodolfo Migliari and Jerry Ordway.

With Nekron in control of all the heroes who died and came back, Superboy finds himself trapped in his own mind as a Black Lantern ring forces him to fight Wonder Girl. During the fight, Conner is just barely able to summon Krypto and leave Cassie a clue telling her to get to the Fortress. There, Krypto removes from the Kryptonian healing chamber Superboy's body, confusing the ring. When the ring attempts to jump from one Conner to the other, the conscious Superboy stops it with freeze breath. While Cassie puts the ring into orbit, Superboy returns his other body to the healing chamber.
