A little disappointing compared to the first two. Hopefully this is just a fluke...

'New Super-Man' #3 by Gene Luen Yang with art by Viktor Bogdanovic continues the Made in China storyline, and this version of Superman is still learning who he is.

Super-Man, aka Kenan Kong, has decided to divulge his secret identity to a female reporter that he has a crush on. The problem is that there are repercussions for this. His family, his new teammates, and his new uncertain powers. It leads to bonding with the new team, but it also paints a target and brings in even greater threats.

I do like this series. I like the young and bumbling Super-Man. I like the large Bat-Man. I haven't seen enough of the Wonder-Woman to know, but this has been a fun series so far.

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

I'm really enjoying this series. I hope the adventures keep coming for a long time to come, and that Kong Kenan is allowed to continue developing as a character.

I don't like Kenan, he's obnoxious. It's not even in an endearing way. Can't wait for his character to develop and not be such a jerk.

The plot thickens in this third issue.

New-Superman deals with the repercussions of revealing his "supposed to be secret" identity.

[Marisa Carpico · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kenan is more obnoxious than I remember, but I like the other characters. Going to have to really think about whether or not to continue this book.
