Superboy Gets Spotlight in New ‘Action Comics’ Arc
DC Comics announced that writer Mark Waid and artist Skylar Patridge will take over creative duties for the long-running series beginning with June’s Action Comics #1087. The duo will shift the focus from Superman to Clark’s time as Superboy in Smallville, Kansas. Check out variant covers by Skylar Patridge and David Talaski below, along with Patridge’s concept art for the new arc!
"I start the book with Clark as a 15-year-old boy, learning to be a superhero for the first time,” said Waid. “What is that like, learning to use your powers at that age? What kind of challenges are you facing? Skylar and I are also bringing Smallville a little more up to date—it still has that rustic feel to it, but farms don’t look like that anymore."
