Action Comics #1096 Preview

 

After his first experience with warfare, Clark needed to talk with someone. He thought that a person his age could best understand what he was going through. Clark considered telling his best friend Pete Ross. Then he realized that, like the weapon Modora was developing, knowledge could also be dangerous. 

Clark may be a teen. Still, he must navigate a minefield of ethical decisions while preventing people like General Sam Lane from digging into his civilian identity. Can Superboy stick to assisting the emergency crews after traffic accidents and helping Mrs Parker organize the Smallville Library? Or what new dilemma will adults force the teen to confront?
