At one point Kenan goes "What the hell is actually happening here?" and that's how I felt a lot of the time reading this. New Super-man is basically about a boy who gets the powers similar to Superman but is located in China. Soon after he meets the Bat-man and Wonder Woman of China. They form the Justice League of China!

Volume 2 goes into Bat-man's training and how he became who he is. Also his arch villain which is kind of tragic. We also get a little bit more about Wonder Woman and her twist is a tad fucked up. Also Kenan begins his training to learn how to control and summon his powers. We also get Superman Zero? Which still confuses me but regardless he's like a villain/hero.

What I liked: The art is still well done, with colorful scenes every page, and good emotion played out on each character. I thought Kenan remained fun, and still kind of a ass, but in all the right ways. Certain moments really worked like the racing of The Flash of China (even though she's American) and then Kenan using his powers again and also the ending was great. I also enjoyed Bat-man story and his twist ending to his villain.

What I didn't like: The book is really confusing at points. Going very very mystical route can be a bit much. I also thought the pacing was oddly structure. Lots of stuff happens, then slow, very slow, then BIG fight out of nowhere. I also not sold on the "big bads" or "Shield" type hero/villain organization.

Overall this was a tad wonkier than volume 1 and a bit more confusing. However, when it works, it has a lot of charm. I really enjoy the entire Justice League and their story and hope the story continues to build into something special.
