Superman: American Alien #3

A young Clark Kent — sunglasses on, Hawaiian shirt open, champagne flute in hand — grins from the deck of a crowded luxury yacht as it cuts across open water toward a distant island, surrounded by a party that clearly has no idea who it's actually celebrating with. This third chapter of Max Landis and Joëlle Jones's seven-part series leans into that delicious irony, dropping the future Man of Steel into a world of excess that feels miles away from Smallville. Ryan Sook's sun-soaked cover sets a breezy, confident tone that makes "Parrot" one of the more unexpectedly charming installments in this reimagining of Superman's early years.
