And with art by fan-favorites John Byrne (JLA, DOOM PATROL) & Mark Farmer (JLA: ANOTHER NAIL), this book is sure to be Super!
In this veddy British tale, the Last Son of Krypton's rocket ship crash-lands in an English town even smaller than Smallville, where the infant Kal-El is taken in by adoptive parents — the Clarks — who raise their son Colin to hide his powers, because the worst thing anyone can do is stand out in the crowd. But when Colin grows up to become a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Smear, a powerful tabloid newspaper dedicated to uncovering the biggest story of the century, he finds that the key to his success may be in going public.
What will the neighbors think?
