"China Syndrome" delivers a sharp, timely story in the midst of a fractured world, where the weight of legacy and identity presses hard on Superboy as he grapples with a crisis that tests his place in the larger superhero landscape. With striking visuals by J. G. Jones on the cover and a grounded, character-driven narrative, this 2006 issue stands out in the series' run.
