☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of the 2012 Superboy series, following the adventures of a young clone of Superman as he navigates life in Smallville. The story pits Superboy against a mysterious threat that targets the town, forcing him to confront his own origins and the secrets of his creation. Written by Scott Lobdell with art by R.B. Silva and others, this trade paperback sets the stage for the character's role in the New 52 era of DC Comics.
In "Smallville Attacks! Part One," Superboy and Psionic Lad face down a relentless hunting party, only to be saved by the arrival of Simon. As the group regroups at the Kent farm, Psionic Lad reveals he’s from a future where an oppressive ruler known as The Hunter has taken control—and that he’s come back in time to train under Superboy. With Simon’s guidance, Psionic Lad begins using his powers to uncover the truth behind Mr. Gilliam’s disappearance, while Superboy grapples with his own responsibilities. Written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Pier Gallo, with colors by Jamie Grant and letters by John J. Hill, the issue’s cover by Karl Kerschl captures the tension of a world on edge.

Superboy and Psionic Lad hold off the hunting party, which retreats when Simon arrives. Back at the Kent farm, Psionic Lad tells Simon and Conner that he comes from the future, from an underground resistance to an oppressive ruler called The Hunter. When his comrades were slain, young Psionic Lad headed to the past to seek out training from Superboy. Before settling in at the Kent farm, however, Simon suggests Psionic Lad use his abilities to help them find out what happened to Mr. Gilliam, which produces some results. Later, while Superboy meets with Lori, Psionic Lad reports on his progress.
