☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the seven-issue 2016 miniseries by Max Landis, which reimagines Clark Kent's early years through a series of interconnected vignettes. Each issue explores a different formative moment in his life, from childhood to his early days as Superman, with a rotating roster of artists including Nick Dragotta, Jae Lee, and Francis Manapul. The story focuses on Clark's journey to becoming a hero, emphasizing his humanity and the choices that define him.
In "Dove," Clark Kent’s first day at the Daily Planet unfolds with unexpected twists: a chance meeting with Lois Lane, a confusing run-in with Oliver Queen who mistakes him for Bruce Wayne, a tense interview with Alexander Luthor, a surprising moment with Dick Grayson, and a shadowed encounter with the Batman himself—written by Max Landis and illustrated by Jae Lee, with colors by June Chung and letters by John Workman. The cover, by Ryan Sook, captures the issue’s electric atmosphere.
In "Owl," Clark Kent steps into his first assignment for the Daily Planet, where a chance meeting with Lois Lane sparks a tense, electric chemistry. As he navigates interviews with Alexander Luthor and Oliver Queen—whose mistaken identity hints at deeper connections—Clark finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue that brings him face-to-face with Dick Grayson and, finally, the enigmatic Batman.
In "Eagle," Superman takes his first steps as a public hero, committing to a daily act of kindness in his new suit—only to find that doing good isn't always simple. When he subdues the Parasite, his moment of triumph is quickly tested by a sharp lesson from Lex Luthor, while Lois Lane watches closely, caught between admiration and concern.
