All-star writer Mark Waid has teamed up with rising star artist Skylar Patridge to tell a brand-new, definitive story of the Man of Steel's youth! Action Comics tells the story of a teenage Clark Kent in his life on Kent Farm as he struggles to fit into his life both in high school and on Earth as a burgeoning Kryptonian superhero!

The Boy of Steel returns! Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge explore the early days of Superman as Clark Kent struggles to fit into his life both as an adoptive member of humanity and as a teenage boy in Kansas!
