City Boy (2023)

First seen in Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special and Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, there's a new Korean hero named...City Boy! Or at least, that's the best translation of what the cities call him. City Boy, a.k.a. Cameron Kim, is just trying to make a living by using his powers of being able to speak to cities to find lost and hidden goods to pawn, and it's only just enough to get by. And those abilities mean he hears everything everywhere all the time, including each city's histories and the truths behind them. (It's very loud in his head and something he has to live with.) As his powers get stronger, the cities start forming animal avatars from scraps in order to physically travel alongside him on his adventures. Of course, Gotham is a rat avatar made of city scraps, but what about Metropolis, Blüdhaven, Amnesty Bay, or even Themyscira? And not all cities are so kind...

Cameron Sun embraces a new power that he's been running away from and travels through the shadows of the city...literally. But every power comes with a consequence. This upsets the city, and it doesn't like City Boy very much. Does he have a choice to stay here any longer, or will he be forced leave to a safer place...like Lexcorp?

After barely fighting off Intergang with the help of Metropolis, the city itself in the form of a dragon avatar, City Boy realizes the more he taps into his powers, the louder it is inside his head...hearing and feeling everything about the city and its history all at once, nonstop. So, he goes to ask for help from someone else who hears all of Metropolis all the time: Superman!

GUEST-STARRING NIGHTWING! Nightwing isn't sure whether City Boy is the sort of person who will use his superpowers for good, but he knows he needs City Boy's help to track down a criminal in Bludhaven, so he might just take that chance. Meanwhile, something is causing City Boy's powers to burst out of control, and he is able to accidentally see events that took place in certain parts of the city dating back hundreds of years...all before he passes out.

Follow City Boy as he discovers a mysterious power that allows him to control ants. But such power disturbs the natural order of the Green...and when none other than Swamp Thing appears, the two quickly clash with their contrasting powers. As they face off, a startling revelation is made...and Cameron gets a better understanding of where his City Boy powers originate from. Don't miss out on this action-packed tale of elemental forces!

CITY BOY VERSUS SWAMP THING AND THE ENTIRE NATURAL WORLD ITSELF! After discovering that City Boy's powers parallel those of Swamp Thing, Cameron isn't sure if the source of his powers should be trusted and whether he can even do anything about it. The fate of the world relies on what he and only he can do to save it now!
