Some thoughts about New Superman #15

The New Superman will have to fight for his friends.

The Suicide Squad has arrived to get rid of all of China's Supermen and Kenan won't have any other choice but stop them and Emperor Superman from hurting anyone.

The storyarc continues in a pretty solid manner.

Gene Luen Yang delivers a new chapter where explores more of this ongoing plot-point that he has been developing since the beginning of his book. The idea of Kenan's mother returning in the most unexpected way possible is quite surprising and, while I don't think this was the initial premise of the character, it still creates a solid twist that promises great character work for the whole family.

The implementation of classic Superman themes remains interesting including the inevitable fight against a Doomsday-like creature and the obvious consequences of it. The ending is even more exciting since Yang goes full meta in terms of old-school comic representation of Chinese people and I can't wait to see it.

I just wish this had better art. Brent Peeples' work is pretty uneven with some scenes looking decent enough and others simply rough.

That being said, quite satisfying issue. The next one better come soon.
