When the dawn breaks, a hero rises. Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger, better than everyone around him. He knows drawing attention to himself could be dangerous, but lately it's difficult to stay in the shadows. And he's not the only one with something to hide. When Clark follows the sound of a girl crying, he comes across Gloria Alvarez and learns that people have been disappearing. With his best friend, Lana Lang, at his side, Clark is determined to discover what evil lies below the surface of their town. Before he can save the world, the future Man of Steel must save Smallville.
A wonderful, bold interpretation of a DC icon that aspires to embrace all readers, new and old. --
