Waid and artist Skylar Patridge combine for a fun story with lots of excitement in Action Comics #1087. There's a new beginning here, and while that could've been a big turnoff, the fun and Silver Age feel to Superman's beginnings as Superboy are executed effectively executed. It's ok to have a continuity shift, an updating, and Waid and Patridge are doing it the right way here. But, shouldn't this really have been in Adventure Comics #530? Read Full Review
Waid does it again...again!
A damn near perfect mix of writing and artwork that capture the joys of Clark’s youth. It’s no nice to have Waid at the helm of DC’s flagship Superman title with a clear and focused direction. This tale is a perfect blend of old school storytelling with modern sensibilities.
