It's the adventures of Superman when he was a boy, from fan-favorite writer Mark Waid (Justice League Unlimited) and rising-star artist Skylar Patridge (Supergirl: Universe End)! A present-day visit to Metropolis's Expo of Tomorrow reminds Superman of a moment years ago, when 15-year-old Clark Kent revealed his powers to the world for the first time. But the Boy of Steel wasn't prepared for the consequences of his debut, including the return of a long-forgotten hero dead set on keeping Superboy from ever becoming a Superman! Collects Action Comics #1087-1092.
