"This series is great! I don’t often subscribe to monthly series preferring to wait for the trade but this series got me hooked. It is about a young man named Kenan Kong who is pretty far from the ideals of Superman considering he bully’s other students. But an act of bravery (and some family secrets) allow Kenan to get into China’s Justice League program which seeks to end or equalize Americans superhero monopoly. It a fascinating look at personal growth, government intrigue and how superheroes might look if they were from another country. It’s played straight forward with drama but it doesn’t forget the importance of fun. The art is good through it can rang from beautiful to rushed in some spots."
