Haha time for Superdickery!
I hate most of Gene Luen Yang's work, but I surprisingly enjoyed this.
>>84461019
Just finished reading Action Comics. Thanks for the story times OP
>>84461083
I love you too, Anonymous citizen!
>>84461065
Is this also the origin of chinese Spider-Man?
My ex was chinese gal. She raved about Shanghai a bit.
>>84461046
He looks like an Asian Nathan Drake on this cover.
>>84461118
what the fuck are you doing in China, Mariah Hill?
>>84461019
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S FINALLY FUCKING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S HERE
She was also super defensive of the government back home.
>>84461118
She looks like she wants to fuck.
>>84461132
Doing what she always does... Playing God until heroes have to clean up her shit
>>84461149
I can't stop laughing at that last panel
New Super-Man 01 (2016) (webrip) (The Last Kryptonian-DCP)
http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/70R9oixI/file.html
>>84461127
Wait, this is the plot to Spiderman and how he got a job at the bugle.
>>84461127
I'm already loving this kid
Whenever I'm on a landing plane, I play Queen/David Bowie's "Under Pressure" to calm myself.
Hmmm...Where have I seen this before...
I'm nothing bad will come of this.
Thanks for reading!
Support the official release.
>>84461149
I like the dad.
>>84461202
Who else loves this orange costume?
>>84461212
Fucking Hell Bruce. They told you to drop that Batman Inc. shit but you didn't listen.
>>84461212
>china copies american superheroes
Amusing this hasn't been done before considering the parallels to real life and how there's hundreds of JL "clones" through the multiverse in DC and Marvel.
>>84461212
Paul Kaminski (ex-Archie editor) has potential.
Was /co/ most hyped for this out of all of the Superman spin-offs?
This isn't like how anyone from Shanghai acts but its not horrible
Stop DC. Just stop. I don't have enough money to buy all this cool shit
I liked this, but there was something "off" about it, and I can't really tell what... maybe the dialogues were a little to exposition heavy at times.
Still, I'll check it out for sure. Does this come out twice a month like the rest?
Action Comics >>84460782
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corp >>84461281
>>84461088
>he didnt get sued for helping a bystander
IMMERSION RUINED
This felt weird to me, like they just took a regular origin story and put 'of China' at the end of the names. Seems okay but I hope they explore how being a hero in China would be different than being one in America.
>>84461270
This, basically.
>>84461088
soooo... that's his dad somehow, right?
>>84461259
/co/ still seems to be more hype about Supersons.
>>84461291
Also Detective Comics #936: >>84461229
Guan Yu approves of this
>>84461237
Eh, I preferred it when they had their own original dudes. Are they still in continuity?
>>84461377
fuck you guan yu, give Wu back Jiang province
>>84461385
Great 10 were in the Last days of Superman story and are set to appear in this
>>84461142
A mechanic AND a truther.
Neat
>>84461212
great, Im now reading these guys in DBZ abridged voices
>>84461019
>Iron Riri already sold out
>This will be lucky to get to at least high 20K
I-it's not fair! :'(
>>84461270
Well how the fuck do they act. Don't go making claims without explanations.
>>84461405
Song or bust mother fucker!
>>84461202
>Now we have truly become the New Super-man™
>>84461447
>>This will be lucky to get to at least high 20K
It's going to do 60k
>>84461447
then advertise it rather than making the six thousandth 'everything wrong with marvel' thread. convince more people its worth buying
>>84461088
>fat boy runs
I can't stop laughing
>>84461167
For you.
>>84461237
>China gets superheroes by pirating American superheroes
So true to life.
>>84461104
>>84461065
>all these LLs
I wonder how they'll do the dynamic. Fat Boy looks like he's gonna be sort of frenemies with Super-Chink
>>84461118
oh shit they got Mariah Hill to fuck shit up
>disgunnabegood.gif
>>84461447
Batman/Superman 32, which was originally the first appearance of the new Super-Man sold out. This might not see as well, but if news sites start explaining that it's a first appearance it will fly off the shelves, probably getting a second print
>>84461611
A Jimmy Olsen to a Superman who uses his super-speed to secretly bully him, Zoom-style?
>>84461019
Nice cover. Who are all those other faggots?
>>84461183

>wait until he changes his mind

>>84461046
Interesting how the chest shield is an octagon shape.
>>84461223
This anon loves the orange costume.
>>84461694
Just read the issue; the regular cover does not lie.
>>84461046
So that's Rois Rane?
>>84461202
I love it when they say the title during the movie
>>84461127
>that hilarious rejection
>not even casual about it just fucking laughs it off
>>84461716
The number of sides of an octagon is eight. Eight is a lucky number among the Chinese.
>>84461744
Epic family guy reference.
>>84461149
When I saw his dad I thought "hard worker honest fella" I didn't expect "mechanic with a side gig as a reporter/writer who will shit on you with the truth"
Hope he will see his son become something great.
>>84461096
What in the fuck?! Is that kid a faggot?
>>84461173
>origin chamber
>>84461166
>Dr Omen
That's not a goodsign
>>84461191
I thought he was just a normal asshole acting out, guess the bullying thing makes sense now. Everyone always tries to assign blame.
>>84461104

>>84461118
How the fuck do you pronounce Luo Lixin?
>>84461118
So he's gonna be a government experiment?
>>84461609
If they don't rip off they can't survive
>>84461046
>>84461019
so how old is this soups? King Kong looks like 12-14 half the time, but he gets ALOT older in some of the detailed shots, and on both of these covers he looks like a 20something
>>84461127
>those last two panels
Massive potential for edits there.
>>84461259
Shota Sons. This was close second. I believe there's hype for Supergirl because of Orlando too.
>>84461212
im calling chinese wonder woman as my waifu
>>84461212

This guy has raised so many death flags.
>>84461149
>themom
Called it.
>>84461978
Read the book you nigger
It litterally has your answer.
This is so cool reading an actual NEW Superman Family title. There hasn't been a new Superman spin-off in how long?
Ok, this was legit great. All the characters seem fun and Yang isn't shying away from "China's fuck up" angle. Kenan is top Husbando material. Fuck it's not even an issue in and I want him to meet American Superheroes already.
>>84462073
"New", I don't even know. Superman spin-off last we had were Superboy (RIP) and Supergirl.
>>84462096
>I want him to meet American Superheroes already.
Fuck that. I want Great Ten and August General in Irons.
>>84461521
It's been advertise on sites like Comic Vine, Newsrama, IGN that review comics and most folks who do reviews of Superbooks regularly will mention it. It got written up on i09 when it was just blurbed with the other Re-Birth books and they've gotten to doing a regular week round-up of DC Re-Birth titles, so the people who regularly read comics will know about it. It's not like it's going to get buried at the LCSs.
>>84462190
>It's not like it's going to get buried at the LCSs.
DC really did the right thing releasing Rebirth over four months
>>84461142
His dad's a conspiricy theorist neat
>>84461191
>I play Queen/David Bowie's "Under Pressure" to calm myself
>>84461196
Well that was unexpected.
How the fuck exactly do his powers work?
>>84461173
>Origin chamber
Fuck yes
>>84461385
I assume they will show up.
>>84461196
>>84461778
I choose to believe this was intentional
>>84462260
What's that?
>>84461212
Didn't they had different on their covers?
>>84462325
The writer is Chinese. It almost certainly was
>>84461202
Are those names a reference to something?
>>84461909
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH... That's actually cool.
That was fucking great.
>Kenan not being some beta pussy
>Arrogant but in a likable Booster Gold type of way
>Interesting setting
>Actual Chinese knock-off Superheroes >>84461212
I'm sold.
>>84461223
It's red, faggot. Are you blind?
>>84462352
Real Han Chinese, American pretending to be Chinese or fake commie Chinese occupier?
>>84461212
Well this has potential.
>>84462352
the writer is also the writer of most of the Avatar comics right?
>>84462365
Yes. New-Superman is a reference to the character Superman.
>>84462352
>>84462385
As far as I know he has Chinese heritage but grew up in the west. All the Chinese things in the book, he had to research on.
It's not as bad as the usual attempt to incorporate foreign elements in a comic, because I do think he tried his best to get everything right. But there are still some ridiculous shit.
Kenan meansconquer the south. Kinda funny considering recent events.
>>84461212
Is this gonna end up being a team book?
>>84462385
I don't know how your American race labels work but he's the son of Chinese immigrants
>>84461212
Was there a chinese Batman in Batman Inc.?
>>84461421
>are set to appear in this
Really?
>>84461723
IT'S FUCKING RED!
>>84461733
lol.
>>84462468
Are commie Chinese from Mars or something?
>>84462451
Yeah can't remember where I heard it (I'll try to find it) but like I said, they were in the Last Days of Superman story which also had Dr Omen in it so it's not like they were forgotten
>>84461142
Doesn't the Chinese government kill whistle blowers?
>>84462488
Do you also get confused when people say Americans are no longer British?
>>84462492
just a little bit
>>84461065
He's also kind of chubby.
>>84461157
>this lady's not my type
shit taste kid
>>84462507
Is this some sort of Taiwan butthurt?
>>84461385
They are. I assume the copy-cats is just the writer being cheeky.
>>84462419
Looks like Kenan will have to fight out the evil government controlled superheroes, for democracy.
>>84461880
You got me
>>84462628
NahHe outs the New Justice League forcing them into conflict with Flying Dragon General and the Freedom Fighters of China
>>84461888
>Everyone always tries to assign blame.
Maybe that will be a theme of the comic
>>84461951
I look forward to them.
>>84462418
>Kenan means conquer the south.
It's intentional. Writer seems to know what he's doing.
I mean look at how much thought he put in the name alone. And the costume too.

http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/70R9oixI/file.html
>>84462673
Not really problems but it's hard for people to find gems wen they're buried under the weight of big names. I think a lot of Marvels good books (Vision) suffered from the massive release as well
>>84462628
I like it.
The justice league of China fights against the great 10 but are forced to put there conflict aside to fight an invader from space together.
>>84462666
That really is a great article

Wow npr way to kill peoples interest in the book
>>84461104
>implying glasses are bad
I hope some of you fuckers will buy this book today. Supergirl will get show boost like Green Arrow and Flash did but this and Superwoman would actually need sales to survive longer. I really hope this book does well in bookstore markets and foreign markets.
>>84462681
>"diversity"
>in a mono-ethnic society
they're not even trying to hide the propaganda anymore
>>84462925
>no one is hyped for Superwoman
Prediction: Superwoman will sell decent for the #1, then crap after that, then DC will kill her off and cancel her book and classic Superman and Lois will replace the New 52 versions in their roles/lives/jobs.
>>84463022
Solicits say she is dying.
>>84462325
Writer is Chinese, almost certainly intentional
>>84463022
>cancel her book
Not as soon as you think anon. Phil Jimenez is considered a high tier artist by DC.
>>84461181
Spider Man doesn't work at the Bugle, that's Peter Parker you moron
>>84461104
did she mention the arrival of american style supercriminals?
>>84461104
If only the words in blue are spoken in English does that mean words like Primetime English in red on her hat are actually Chinese?

thats a fucking good design right there
>>84461096
>I love you too, Anonymous citizen!
Man, Megamind was better than any of us deserved.
>>84461127
Okay, Marvel, this is how you introduce diversity in your comics. You don't make them magically better than all the white people at half the age - you make them PEOPLE first, and you make them interesting.
Fucking Riri...
>>84463025
Also say it's an ongoing and not a mini.
>>84463365
This isn't even "diversity" though. It's just a guy who got powers. It's no different than any other book.

This is a really great family dynamic. In fact, this whole comic is pretty great so far.

Damn it. I fucking hate dibs.
>>84463439
Too bad cause I call dibs on Dr. Omen.
>>84463448
When or if chinese Zatanna shows up can we all agree that I called dibs first?
>>84462381
>>84461223
It's both... Its supposed to be two-tone red. But, it got a bit too much yellow in there at times.
>>84463469
You can't call dibs before you see it buddy.
>>84463469
If we get Chinese constantine I simultaneously claim him and am dropping the book.

>truth

Fuck this shit, why can't it be equality??
Between this and Wonder Jew attacking Russians this crap seems to be out of the cold war. Diversity isn t just niggers and fags, it should be about actual different mindsets and values too, not just easy to digest american shit.
>>84463587
I bet his father really did cut corners on safety
>>84463614
It'd certainly be in keeping with Chinese business practices.
>>84463608
Democracy isn't, like, a bad thing, you know. Every political system has its flaws, but people wanting a say in their government does happen without it being 'cold war american shit'.
>>84463737
I'm not saying is a bad thing, i'm saying that a chink Superman should be teached the values that his country is supose to have and not stuff americans put value on. If Clark cares about democracy this guy should care about equality.
>>84463785
Clark cares about democracy?
>>84463801
He does, in a meme way just like most americans.
>>84461142
This man is going to die.
>>84463608
>why can't it be equality
The concept of "equality" is LITERALLY foreign to non-westerners. They don't even think it or have any concept of it. It would never even occur to them.
It's not uncommon for chinese to think their system is "democratic". It's one of those words that no one uses correctly anymore. It fits and it's probably what he would have said "if it were real".
>>84463785
>>84463801
>>84463818
No he doesn't.
>>84464000
You didn't post a witty comment like the other threads :(

One of the last times I get to see superman..
JLA Rao canceled, superdad in harley comic..Is something miraculous that they have not used superdad here.
>>84464025
How about
Made in America from local and imported ingredients.
>>84461212
as the initial Pokemons in the games
super-man - RED
Bat-man-blue
ww- green
Good thing is blue .. was boring to see a copy of the authentic batman.
Funny comic...
>>84463953
We understand equality, it's you americans that are taking overboard.
>>84463259
They apparently were a thing in China for a while, if Kenan's narration is anything to go by.
>>84464602
There's a difference between the literally definition of the word "equality" (which is literally purely mathematical) and the political buzzword called "equality" that's used in western countries.
Non-westerners may understand literal equality, but they don't have the western political concept of "equality".
>>84461924
Yeah we saw him breaking out of the facility he was in during the recent arc in which superman is dying.
>>84461948

Jesus there just trying to make Lois Lane and Clark Kent's name sound chinesy as fuck aren't they
>>84463275
They're talking about the lettering with the colors not the art
Better than having a full comic of <>s I guess.
>>84461142
Is he seriously stupid enough to think the chinese government wont just kill him?
>>84461166
Well this clashes a bit with the fact that Kong showed up already superpowered before Superman died. But I don't care for little details like that.
God dammit normies don't really understand the concept of character development, do they? Do you want the most cookie cutter shit in your first few issues or arcs?
>>84465043
Yang said he didn't. Comic literally explained what happened then. Read again.
>>84462243
Think of him as a human enhanced with kryptonian DNA, because that's what he is.

>>84461248
I went through the DCYou books once to see the editors, I know he had Starfire but I can't remember what else. Maybe Deathstroke or Red Hood and Arsenal?
Good start by Yang though. Art was great too.
>>84463436
>>The whole comic is about knock-off Chinese copies of famous DC heroes.
ayup
at least it isn't blatant race swapping just making Chinese versions of the real super heroes
>>84465087
Explain it to me please. I'd like to have that confusion cleared up.
>>84465114
When superman was chasing that random guy who somehow absorbed some of his solar energy and thought he was Clark, the trail led to China where he and the great ten investigated a facility that ended up being the one that was making Kenan Kong into superman. A test subject wearing the same superman suit as Kong does in this book broke out and flew away. I thought that was him.
>>84462438
I think Cass was the one they sent to China so since she didn't exist in new 52 Inc, I guess there wasn't one
>>84461289
>Does this come out twice a month like the rest?
No, some of the books are monthly like this one.
This was nice. Already liking Kong and his dad.
>>84463022
They probably need to start shilling this book like Super Birds of Prey because that's actually what it seems to be with Lois, Lana, Traci and Natasha in it.
>>84465056
>doesn't like the new asshole husbando
>doesn't want Chinese Maria Hill to rape him
What is wrong with people?
>>84465239
>Explain it to me please. I'd like to have that confusion cleared up.
Read this >>84461173 page, last panel. And Yang said this on Twitter
https://twitter.com/geneluenyang/status/751952317834862592
>>84461212
>China copying super-heroes now
Okay.. that's a little racist.
>>84465239
I didn't read Yang's explanation but they do mention the fatality rate and past experiments here so that guy might have just died
>>84465389
Oh, thanks and sorry then. I can't wait to see who that first test subject turns out to be..
>>84464984
It's actually the same thing they did with Billy Batson when he was first reintroduced to the New 52
>>84465413
And people called Johns an edgelord because of that.
>>84465056
>God dammit normies don't really understand the concept of character development, do they?
No.
Current capeshit is the festival of Mary Sues and I'm quite serious about it.
You won't get new heroes whose origins lie in their monumental fuckup as a character like Peter Parker, or who have several character flaws beyond being so in demand they don't have enough time.
Ain't nobody got time for that character development shit when you need to release the tenth issue#1 of a superhero fighting against not-Donald Trump while putting in enough panels to cause instant internet outrage.
I did enjoy the book though, looks like I'm going to have to buy it now.

>>84465430
This is the fucking reason people didn't like new 52 Shazam or Morrison's Action run. I actually don't remember last run where a new hero was introduced as flawed and got some character development. Honestly, fuck capeshitters.
>>84465465
It'd be nice if he kept having the dream even after getting powers while still failing to save his mother. Then after some major event in which he actually manages to save a lot of people including some loved ones, he has the same dream again except this time he succeeds. It'd be a nice moment in which he truly starts to see himself as a hero.

They probably work for a different branch of the government than the Ministry of Self-Reliance.
I doubt we're gonna see Mother of Champions much.
>>84463385
China fucking loves the number eight, dude. Its like seven for us.
>>84465732
>They probably work for a different branch of the government than the Ministry of Self-Reliance.
Pretty sure they do work for a different branch since they had no idea about the superman project the government had when they appeared in the last days of superman arc.
>>84465532
Its because we're so used to runs either NOT developing characters or ending before they can GET developed that we're just like, "Aw fuck another asshole reinvention."
We're a scarred people, okay.
>>84465796
I'd have actually liked a revamp of Mother of Champions as a geneticist who makes the super-project work instead of....a woman who's pregnant all the time.
But Dr. Omen's cool and I LOVE the idea of two Chinese super-teams being in conflict because their warring support bureaus didn't bother to tell each other what they're up to.
>>84461058

They can disappear them, keep them imprisoned under house arrest, harrass and abuse their families and stick them in work camps. China's getting better, but it's still pretty shitty if you say bad things about the government.

And then they charge them the bullets of their performances to their families
>>84466158
well the dude is still in high school so neither makes sense. It'll probably be unrequited love for now.
>>84466148
China is westernized as fuck, or are you one of those racists who think everyone who doesn't live in Hong Kong tends rice fields?

>>84461248
Hopefully he doesn't go full retard like he did right before he left Archie
>>84473030
Please elaborate.
Really excited for this. It's a good start. I think that Kenan has a lot of potential to be an interesting hero, since he has these heroic traits buried under an asshole persona. Looking forward to seeing his growth into the Superman legacy.
Is his name Kong Kenan or Kenan Kong? China doesn't swap surname/given name like Japan does, does it? He introduces himself as Kong Kenan, but promotional stuff always spoke about him as Kenan Kong.
>>84462730

Gene Yang does hardcore research. Boxers and Saints showcases it particularly well, but you can see it in American Born Chinese as well.
>>84473188
Basically, last summer he decided to make this big crossover event with the 3 Sonic books and the Mega Man book because he wanted to compete with Marvel. A list of things he did for this included
>Forcing the writer to kill off characters for the sake of drama and they had to be important
>Forcing a character nobody liked to get more attention than even the writer who created him wanted
>Getting artists who had never drawn Sonic before drawing a fuckton of them on a weekly basis (Except Hesse who took over for the last 4 issues) and putting the people who have drawn Sonic and co before on side books
>Having a main selling point of the comic be that 12 Sega and Capcom franchises were getting in on this, but cheapening out so they could only show up for the last 4 issues
That's just off the top of my head. Thankfully after that he left the comic. Oh by the way in the wake of this event, the Sonic Boom comic got cancelled and Mega Man was put on "hiatus"
>>84461019
Not-Capullo did a good job in this. Between this and Suicide Squad Most Wanted, I'm glad he's getting more gigs.
Kenan personal name, Kong family name. I don't know how true it is in real life but based on this it does look like they are going in the (family) (personal) order. Notice when the reporter girl introduced herself it's given in the (personal) (family) order and denoted as English.
>>84473299
That's fucking horrifying but at least Berganza is there to keep him in check
>>84473311
sorry for >>84473195

You must have a lot of self-loathing.

There's a difference between introducing a new character who's an asshole and rebooting a character into an asshole when his whole deal was he was the nicest most optimistic hero around.
>>84474087

Being well-adjusted literally is the opposite of this.

even then this argument fails since I found Kenan likable in the sense that he's not supposed to be some self-insert beta gary-sue.

>>84480304
There's clearly more to this "Ministry of Self-Reliance" than what we know so far. It's not even clear if they work for the Chinese government or if they're some kind of rogue organization. They picked Kenan for a reason, but I'm pretty sure the reason isn't because not-Maria Hill saw him throw a soda can at a super-villain.
>>84480074
But that's not what DC is doing. The entire point of this is that they're Chinese knock off versions of the originals.

I'm guessing she would have said "Lan Laney," with the typical family name first thing done in China. Lan is definitely a family name, and Laney is probably a personal name, or maybe some Westernized, English-based thing.
Note that in the page right after, Super-Man introduces himself as Kong Kenan, whereas all the marketing before this has been referring to him as Kenan Kong.

Are there any chinese super heroes already in the JL that arent all super brainwashed chinese nationalists?

>>84484259
"Musick has charms to soothe a savage breast," which is the first line of William Congreve's play, spoken by Almeria in Act I, Scene 1.
>>84484259
It is not a typo.
Is King Kong the best new character of the year?
>>84484384
>I thought the JL was all about protecting the entire world
Half the time they call themselves the Justice League of America, and the majority of the time they seem to be fighting threats in the US, so I'm not surprised that other countries have decided to make their own Justice Leagues.
>>84484295
That's right, she was a member of an ancient order of assassins that wanted to kill Flash after some other soldiers bombed their temple. He cheated on her, but they stayed friends after breaking up.
>>84484295
YES - when he was a Vietnam vet, versus the current (was it Iraq or Afghanistan that cost him his legs? - that part I forget).
>>84484441
The Great Ten aren't new - the idea that other countries had their own protectors isn't new, Russian had the Rockets, Britain had the long haired female and others I presume. Plus we have that totally necessary native-Canadian superhero we got in Justice League C̶a̶n̶a̶d̶a̶ United.

>>84480074
I think that's very much the point. Everything about this shouts "Western." It's set in a China that has modernized and is westernizing. Look at how Kenan talks about movie stars and Yao Ming, and takes money from the kid. Gene Yang is really keen on East-West collisions, so I'm sure that's going to be a big theme of the book.
>>84480074
Do you really want a bunch of westerners write about eastern mythology?
