Sometimes the battles worth fighting are at home in Smallville and not in the big city of Metropolis. After a poor harvest, the future of Kent Farm is on the line. So what do you do when superpowers can’t solve your problems? Superboy is about to find out!
When you have a great creative team that works great together, you get a perfect issue. Even without any super battles or millions of dollars in damages or deaths from a natural disaster, a great story was shared, a deeper look into Clarks upbringing, values and morals is explored and a person who will shape his feature is introduced. I cant wait to read the next issue! Read Full Review
One of my favorite parts of this series so far is that it shows how difficult it is not only to be a superhero but to raise one, with Jonathan and Martha feeling like they have to ensure their son understands right and wrong even if it comes at great personal cost in this case. But the ending shows that an even bigger moral dilemma might be ahead for Superboy, as Sam Lane comes calling once again. Read Full Review
Partridge delivers some engaging visuals throughout the issue. I really enjoy the character designs and I like the visual change towards the end of the issue and how it becomes more serious as the story changes. Read Full Review

Sometimes, having super powers isn't enough to say the day. Waid's writing throws a very human problem in front of Superboy with a lesson behind it. Patridge & Plascencia construct vintage era panels to compliment a very grounded story. The throwback era of Superboy remains as vital to readers as it did decades ago. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1093 taps deep into the legacy of Superman mythology, exploring teenage drama and identity crises with gusto. A confident return by Waid, amplified by Patridges visuals, promising one of the more compelling chapters in the Action Comics line this year. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1093 is another excellent single issue story, something we don't get enough of these days. It not only features great art from Patridge, but Waid continues to explore Clark's moral development. He's not afraid to show the inner struggle and temptation and Clark's mistakes. You really shouldn't be missing this. Read Full Review
Just a fun and sweet comic that really makes hay of the idea of a 21st century Superboy.
