Alt said East meets West. Kong Kenan is bullying a fat kid when Shanghai supervillain Blue X shows up. Kong throws a soda can at him, an impulsive act that stems from Kong’s general lack of smarts. Thanks to a viral video, Kong is an instant celebrity. The Ministry of Self-Reliance, a shadow government group that conspiracy buffs love, wants to give Kong superpowers -- Superman’s p. "A very promising start" according to Spidey. Kong Kenan is picking on a schoolmate when a supervillain shows up. For whatever reason Kong throws a can of soda at him, knocking the villain senseless. The event is caught on video and he becomes an overnight sensation. This puts him in the sight of Dr. Omen who decides to make him the New Super-Man. So then Kong teams up with the Chinese version of Bat-Man and Wond. Very fun to read SLIMJIM This was a fun read. This was a little different than the typical Superman comic. This New Superman is Chinese (as one can gleam from the subtitle). I loved the story as it was a breath of fresh air from the generic Superman story and also that it was a different cultural perspective. I am glad DC printed this and had a good writer name Gene Yang tell this story. Thus
