Comicosity - Amy Ziegfeld
Oct 11, 2017New Super-Man remains one of the most interesting superhero comics being published today, a fascinating take on heroism the likes of which we haven't really seen before. Every issue is a delight, and this one is no different. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Konrad Secord-Reitz
Oct 13, 2017New Super-Man #16 is a fantastic issue which explores the inherent racism that was in comics for a long time as well as showing the differences in ideology between Western and Chinese philosophy and politics. Yang and Peeples have done a fantastic job with this issue! Read Full Review

Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway
Oct 11, 2017A trip to Chinatown in 1937 reveals a new path for Kenan, which does not, as yet, have anything to do with Chop Suey. There's intrigue, surprises, great character moments, and--why not?--a giant robot. This could be the issue you finally hop on board and start reading New Super-Man! Though frankly I suggest you start at the beginning because you're going to want to read the earliest issues anyway. Read Full Review

Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj
Oct 19, 2017I don't know how much longer we'll have this book. But I am loving it. And this arc, confronting All Yang as well as comic history, feels like a nice coda. We'll see. Hope everyone sings the books praises. It is a very good book. Read Full Review

Yuen thinks outside the box which is why this title is one of the better ones in Rebirth's lineup. It's interesting to see him tackle Chinese caricatures that are steeped in stereotypes.

The first couple pages are simply amazing. It's clear that the end of the story is coming soon, and it's still so good.

This book has become really consistently interesting. Good characters, and I like that (for the most part) it exists in its own little world without too much interference from the rest of the DCU.

The pacing of these comics is so fast it looks like a 60's comic.
