Tell us your thoughts on Kong Kenan and the New Super-Man series in the comments below!
Have your read further than issue 6 in this series?
Have you read other comics by Gene Luen Yang like Superman Smashes the Klan?
Not only was New Super-Man a highlight of the Superbooks of the Rebirth era, but it was a great highlight of the era in general, regardless of franchise.
Looking forward to what folks have to say on this one!
I really enjoyed these issues. I have never read this series before. I will have to read more to see where it goes. It was interesting to see Kong Kenan transition from bully to hero.
I barely knew anything about Kong Kenan before reading this. I loved his character arc and I loved the relationships he had with everyone. I really enjoyed the heartfelt conversations between him and the Wonder Woman of China. Basically, I love him! He’s my second favorite version (Val-Zod still takes the cake for my favorite).
I only downloaded issues 1-6, but I plan on reading the rest at home.
I loved Superman Smashes the Klan! It’s actually my favorite series! Gene Luen Yang is awesome!
It’s amazing to me that DC came up with not one but TWO Chinese teams that are stuffed with characters I like, the Justice League of China and the Great Ten.
I have read the entire series and it’s good from start to finish.
From Gene Luen Yang I have read this series, Superman vs. the Clan, his run on New52 Superman, the Terrifics and his excellent run on Batman/Superman from 2021. He’d be on my short list to replace Bendis on Justice League.
