    DC Comics News - Konrad Secord-Reitz Dec 14, 2016

    This issue has me pumped for the things to come in the next issue, and the arc after that. It will be a shame if this series ends after this arc or even a second arc. There is a lot of potential for these characters to become regular staples of DC Comics. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Wayne Hall Dec 17, 2016

    I plan on following this book continuing forward. It has a great cast of characters, a variety of situations around the heroes, and the freedom to go places we've never seen the "regular" Justice League go. I like that! Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Kalem Lalonde Dec 14, 2016

    New Super-Man #6 closes out Kong Kenan's great origin story with excitement, tragedy, and promise for the future of the series. If you are a fan of Kamala Khan, you will likely enjoy this book. It implements culture and political intrigue into a coming-of-age story about a phenomenal lead character who promises to become even more compelling as the story unfolds. New Super-Man is a winner for DC and a winner for comics. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway Dec 14, 2016

    A really exciting, fast-paced issue that gives you all the Kong Kenan recklessness you've come to know and love. This issue concludes with what might be some growth for the character, but if he stays the same lovable doofus he is now, I'll be okay with it. This comic book is a lot of fun to read, and if you're not on the trolley, I feel bad for you! Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Dec 20, 2016

    Nice way to stick the ending of this first arc. A lot has happened. The characters are very different than how they were in the beginning. And we have new layers of intrigue. I'll say it again. This book might be the best surprise of the Rebirth books for me. Read Full Review

    Kabooooom - Brandon Griffin Dec 15, 2016

    Do yourself a favor and read this arc, and then spread the word to your comic book enthusiastic friends. New Super-Man is my pick for most underrated comic book of 2016 and deserves more attention. Gene Luen Yang has taken a very different approach to the most stereotypical superhero model and created something beautiful. Character introductions don't get much better than this.

    AIPT - David Brooke Dec 14, 2016

    New Super-Man offers a great change of pace for the character as his location is fresh and his powers come with intriguing caveats. I'm excited to see where Yang takes this character from here, though the pacing needs some work. Read Full Review
