Spurned on by the Superman movie I’ve been getting back into comics again (the hyper fixation is looming heavy) and this one was on my tbr so I gave it a shot. Honestly my favorite part was at the end when Yang talked about the history of Superman and their experience growing up Chinese American. It was heartwarming and I was shocked to find out that this is an adaptation of a radio series from 1946!!! All in all while it was definitely made with kids in mind it is a good comic that does some very interesting things with Superman and of course with the Lee family. Definitely worth the read.
