Riassunto

POWERLESS, EXPOSED — BUT STILL THE WORLD’S GREATEST HERO!
 
Superman is going through some changes. First, there’s his new “solar flare” power, which releases tremendous amounts of energy but leaves him functionally human—fragile, vulnerable, prone to hangovers—for 24 hours.
 
But an even bigger change is coming. A new company called Hordr has sprung up, and its business is secrets. If you have one that you want to keep hidden, Hordr can control you—and no one has a bigger secret than Clark Kent. 
 
Now, Hordr is threatening to expose Clark’s alter ego unless he does everything they command. Will Superman play into the hands of blackmailers to keep his loved ones out of danger? And if the truth that Superman has been hiding is exposed, will it set him free—or ruin his life?
 
A new era for the Man of Steel begins here—crafted by National Book Award nominated writer Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese) and legendary artists John Romita, Jr. (Kick-Ass, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Klaus Janson (BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS). Collects issues #40-44 and the 8-page SUPERMAN story from DIVERGENCE: FCBD SPECIAL EDITION #1.

Recensione:

"Superman is in good hands as Gene Luen Yang and John Romita Jr. kick off a bold new storyline for the Man of Steel." --IGN
"Gene Luen Yang makes a bold impression in his DC debut, tackling the biggest superhero of them all with confidence... Superman feels fresh and unpredictable." --Tech Times
Praise for Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese:
"It's a fable for every kid born into a body and a life they wished they could escape. Yang accomplishes the remarkable feat of practicing what he preaches with this book: accept who you are and you'll already have reached out to others." --Starred Review in September 2006 issue of School Library Journal
"This is one of the best graphic novels I've read this year. It is highly recommended for all graphic novel collections." --New York Times Book Review"
