    From Eisner Award–winning writer Mark Waid and acclaimed artist Skylar Patridge comes the latest chapter in the story of how young Clark Kent learned to be Super!

    As Clark Kent reaches the spring of his sophomore year at Smallville High, things have changed for Superboy. Yes, he’s become Smallville’s protector, but at what cost? Buckling under the weight of his super-secret, Clark now feels more alone than ever. Could there be more out there like him? 

    Luckily for Clark, he's about to find out—as heroes of tomorrow arrive in the past looking for Superboy's help, as Smallville is turned upside down! It's all part of the interconnected "Reign of the Superboys" story, detailing the fallout of Superman's disappearance after the massive DC K.O. event.

    Plus, this collection includes the must-read anniversary issue Action Comics #1100, celebrating one of the longest-running series in comic book history! 

    Collects Action Comics #1096-1100.
