New Superman #4 is another great installment to a comic that I hope is getting the love it deserves. Its both fun and smart, which, you know, is what I want from a superhero comic. Fun first though! I have my priorities. Read Full Review
Events in this issue only further the Invincible comparison, but for a new DC title, that's hardly a bad thing. There's a few monthly titles I wish were on a bi-weekly schedule for the next hit faster and New Super-Man definitely earns a spot on that list. It'll be a long 30 days, but there's little doubt the creative team won't make it work the wait. Read Full Review
Maybe, the point here is that the two will secretly team up to reveal the corruption of both sides. But this definitely is an intriguing wrinkle. Overall, a nice fast-paced issue pushing things forward while tweaking the characters enough to bring growth. So far, this is a surprisingly entertaining book. Read Full Review
This book continues to impress its readers. I initially thought it was cute and we might get six issues from it. Seeing now how this series and particularly this issue have played out, I'm hoping for much more. Read Full Review
New Super-Man continues to have a lot to deal with and a decent chunk of that simply comes from reader expectations and desires that goes against the type of storytelling that's being employed here. Storytelling I like, which means I have to shift my expectations to where they should be instead of where I want them to be. As we've seen before, Bogdanovic does some great stuff here with the flow of the action and the general impact of the bigger scenes, but he damn well wins book of the week for me for one of the best last pages I've seen in a bit, especially with some lush coloring from Hi-Fi that really shines even more through the digital installments I'm getting here as opposed to print.

The 'Made In China' story line continues to sore peering into a confident, yet insecure superhero and how he tries to exist in the world with these great attributes and how to temperament restraint. Read Full Review
Ultimately, New Super-Man #4 is a good installment in a great series. The pacing issues in the script hold the book back a bit, but Gene Luen Yang's Kenan Kong makes for a fun protagonist to follow. The exciting artwork by Viktor Bogdanovic and Richard Friend keep the action thrilling, and the color work by Hi-Fi gives New Super-Man #4 a great tone and real stakes. Read Full Review
I remain a fan of this series, although at this point I would very much like to see some real character growth start to happen with Kenan, who seems to take two steps forward and one step back at all times. Hopefully with the General revelation we can begin to really reveal what the main ongoing plot of this series will be and start to strip away the outer layers of Kenan's personality, finally being left with the hero that he clearly has inside of him deep down.
