If that previous novella was centred around his younger life, then this one is around (roughly) his teenage years, where he is sent to be mentored by the Druids of Briton and initiated into their ways.
As is often the case, Caratacus must also find some way of dealing with the local bully, who is both older and stronger than the new initiates.
As a novella, this also must stand on it's own, as it were, complete with an opening, the main body of the story and then a conclusion within a relatively short number of (digital) pages!

MM Urban Fantasy Romance
David McK (3773 KP) rated All Star Superman in Books
Jan 28, 2019 (Updated Oct 19, 2025)
Some of the episodes, I felt, were far superior to others: in some (perhaps more than I was comfortable with), I didn't really follow what was happening.
There is an over-arching plot throughout the entire series, with Superman 'overpowering' himself with solar radiation in the opening of the first episode, and with his body beginning to fail as a result.
I also found the art-style slightly off-putting: I can understand drawing the man of steel in a square/blocky 'strong' art style, but ma and pa Kent? Really?
Perhaps not the best of introductions for anybody new to Superman comics.
