review:
'New Super-Man #2' by Gene Luen Yang with art by Viktor Bogdanovic was an odd story, but it grew on me.

This is "Made in China" part two. The story is set in China and Kenan Kong finds himself with the powers of Superman. He also meets the Chinese Batman and Wonder Woman. This Superman is a bit crude and makes jokes about his fellow heroes. To his credit, Batman is a bit on the thicker side. Kenan's powers are a bit unstable and unreliable, which is a bad thing, because there is a new threat on the horizon.

I really liked this alternate version of familiar heroes. The characters don't necessarily act or dress like their counterparts. There is a little more humor here than in a traditional Superman comic. I also like the youth of this team. It gave the team more energy.

I received a review copy of this comic book from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.
