Superboy #5

In "With Friends Like These...", Superboy crosses paths with a rebellious trio of future teen heroes—Tara, Shift, and Wildstar—whose punk-infused take on the Legion feels both thrilling and out of place. Meanwhile, life at the Kent household gets even more chaotic with the arrival of Andy McAlister as Clark’s new roommate. Written by John Moore and brought to life by Jim Mooney’s dynamic art and Ty Templeton’s inks, this 1990 issue captures a fresh, energetic twist on Superboy’s world, with Kevin Maguire’s cover perfectly framing the clash of generations.
