In "The Boy of Steel, Part One," Conner Kent begins a new chapter in Smallville, adjusting to life with Ma Kent, attending high school, and stepping into a legacy as part of a team of heroes—though he can't shake the shadow of the father he never knew. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Francis Manapul, this issue captures the quiet intensity of a young hero finding his place, with color by Brian Buccellato and letters by Steve Wands. The cover, a striking collaboration by Francis Manapul and Clayton Henry, sets the tone for a story rooted in identity, responsibility, and the weight of expectation.
