First I-Ching now this guy. Yang is not pulling any stops.

>>89753546
>implying any more than 5 people read New Super-Man

>>89753551
lmao Yang

>>89753422
Goddammit Super-man

>>89753551
Is there anything they're not willing to bring back because holy shit

>>89753512
Grant Morrison would love this.

>>89753539
I don't follow DC. There was a chinese superman before chinese superman?

>>89753517
I don't know Chinese stuff but the path starts at the end of the S at the bottom at 0/belly/invulnerable then to 1/fist/strength then 2/ear/hearing then 3 then jump to 7 to 6 to 5 and then 4 as the last.

What are the symbols and body they mean? It'll tell us the order he gets his powers.

>>89753551
No fucking way!

>>89753512

sheit, that is neat

>>89753512
Belly - Invulnerability
Fist - Super Strength
Ear - Super hearing

Based on the path next will be
Thigh
Foot
Eye
Mouth
Head

Presumably Eye is either heat or X-ray vision and Mouth is Super breath

That leaves flight and super speed.

>>89753302
best boy

>>89753539
oh FUCK
>>89753551
OH FUCK

>>89753517
I just looked it up on wikipedia and apparently the S shape is the order the parts go in.

>>89753551
this is definitely gonna go on One Page Threads now and hopefully that'll attract new readers.

>>89753551
Grant Morrison would probably also love this.

>>89753734
Is the S shape something special in Chinese cause the order they go in as presented in the circle makes an S. That isn't made up for the comic.

>>89753734
wait, is this also the basis for Jackie Chan's Adventures?

here's an interesting article on DC's early days, including how in the days before Superman & Batman it basically existed as a scheme by it's owners to sell softcore porn pulp magazines;

So the S was actually there all along? Why are they ordered that way and not all like a clock?

>>89753582
yeah... before Kenan Kong(Chinese Superman), DC did this superman clon.. and the Great Ten put him in prison.

>>89753551
could someone explain this to me
I thought it'd be like Manhattan or Oz

>>89753892
merely a ruse.

Somebody needs to storytime Detective Comics 1.

>>89753954
I'm feeling this is hypercrisis worthy. Especially once I remember about the importance of the number 8 and Morrison's talk about the chakras.

>>89753892
Braille

>>89753551
yesssss

>>89753551
>>89753878
>>89753943

see>>89753880

Detective Comics #001.

This guy precedes Batman, who only showed up in #027, and was what triggered the publication of Action Comics number 1.

This guy, and this image, right down to the banner, writing and bubbles, is basically the comic equivalent of the First Book of Genisis. In terms of comics, he precedes Batman, Superman and pretty much every other comic character out there.

>>89753966
What's another word for fowl?

>>89753994
so this is about to become really crazy or something

>>89753997
Rooster. Like this year in the zodiac is year of the rooster.

>>89753994
>>89753973
>>89753934
>>89753734
I feel like this Yang guy is a smart dude

>>89753624
The Head Trigram is the last one and represents Sky/Heaven >>89753734
So that's probably Flight

>>89754067
Can't he already fly?

>>89753367
I'm loving this power gimmick.

>>89753734
So Superman is all about the ear: water, north, dangerous, in-motion and pigs.

>>89754022

>>89753517
Fuuuuuuuck. That's fucking great.

>>89753734
>thigh
>penetration
>gentle entrance
>cock
Hohoho those Chinese.

>>89753551
Holy fucking SHIT.

>>89754077
He lost his connection to most of his powers and has to learn how to activate them one at a time now.

>>89753968
Unfortunately all you'll find is a really racist story about some dude getting shitty service at a Chinese restaurant.

>>89753527
Being Batman is suffering.

>>89753302
Nice cover, not muh Superman.

>>89753551
>>89753880
>Marvel tripping over itself to be pro-minority
>DC just fucking acknowledges it all began with a racist caricature who is apparently pretty fucking powerful now

>>89753624
There's
Flight
X-Ray vision
Laser Eyes
Ice Breath
Speed

Thigh
Foot
Eye
Mouth-Ice Breath
Head-Flight

>>89753973
>the importance of the number 8
Holy shit. It just keeps going deeper.

>>89753551
This is honestly one of the greatest cliffhangers I've ever seen
Well done, Yang

>>89753422
That truck driver is so dead.

>>89754152
yeah it's kinda funny that despite being on the cover we don't actually see Chin Lung for several issues, it is worth noting that at least two other notable DC characters debuted in Detective Comics #1 besides him; Speed Saunders and Slam Bradley

>>89753551
I really hope this catches on, the firsts tpb doesn't come out until like July or something

the internet must know how great this fucking series is

>>89753517
Ah fuck that's clever. It actually does work that way.

>>89753551
Morrison would love this kind of shit, digging up an ultra old character and somehow making him canon in the present.

>>89754431
>Speed Saunders
>Slam Bradley
What are their powers? To channel the power of basketball through their soul?
I have trouble imagining anyone that can possibly have a name that sounds less like they should be basketball superstars.

>>89754853
>>89754912
Wait, what? So before the super hero stuff they already had multi-part comics? I guess they changed to standalone single stories because they were seen as more child friendly?

Or is that just a bad ending? "Everyone died!"

>>89753551
>Why is the Chinese Superman getting a villain who’s a Chinese stereotype? It’s all part of a plan.

>When originally offered the chance to write a new, Chinese Superman for DC Comics, writer and MacArthur “genius grant” recipient Gene Luen Yang turned down the opportunity because he felt the series could be a “cultural and political land mine.”

>After changing his mind and becoming the writer on “New Super-Man,” Yang is now set to reintroduce one of DC Comics’ oldest bad guys, who some might say is the embodiment of political incorrectness.

>Ching Lung, whose appearance on the cover of the very first issue of Detective Comics back in 1937 predates the first appearance of Superman in 1938, will appear on the final pages of “New Super-Man” No. 8 (available Feb. 8 both in print and digitally).

>Ching Lung will go up against Chinese Superman Kong Kenan and the Justice League of China, a group of young teen superheroes that includes the Batman and Wonder Woman of China.

>Ching Lung is considered now to be a “yellow peril villain,” as he was originally designed to fuel the fears some Americans had of the Chinese in the 1930s. So he may be a surprising choice to bring into a series that has embraced diversity and fit into a market trend of taking famous superhero mantles and placing them on new characters of color — even if he’s coming in as an antagonist.

>But Yang, who is Chinese American, said he felt the character fits into DC’s “rebirth” era, which has re-energized DC’s fan base by going back to the characters’ basics, after the polarizing New 52 era of constant reinvention. Yang said the reset approach shouldn’t only apply to the publisher’s good aspects.

>>89758903
>“If Rebirth is about embracing the history of the DC universe, then we do have to go back to the very beginning, right?” Yang told The Post’s Comic Riffs. “If we really want to embrace who we are as Americans, we have to look at both the good and the bad and the pretty and the ugly of our history. If rebirth is about reclaiming a lot of DC’s past, we also have to examine some of the ugly stuff, too. So that’s what we’re hoping to do.”

>What’s also surprising is that the design of Ching Lung in “New Super-Man” almost mirrors his original 1930s design, which may seem offensive to modern eyes (and is very different from the typical style of “New Super-Man” artist Billy Tan). That is intentional. After trying out new, more modern designs, Yang thought it best to go back to the original one.

>“I thought if we redesign Ching Lung, we will actually be introducing a new form of yellow peril. And that is definitely something that I was not interested in doing,” Yang said. “The purpose is not necessarily to kick up old stereotypes as it is to comment on them. My hope is at the end of all of the story line, the entire long arc that deals with Ching Lung, that a reader will be able to see it as both a comment on the past and evidence of how far we’ve come.” (Lung appears on the last page of No. 8, and his story line won’t be revealed until later issues.)

>That’s not to say that Yang and his editors at DC Comics didn’t struggle with the decision to bring back Ching Lung.

>“We were very thoughtful about [the return of Ching Lung],” Yang said. “I think that the two dominant emotions that I had going into the publication of issue No. 8, is a little bit of fear, I’m worried about how the readers are going to take to it, and the second is, I feel proud. I feel proud of playing a small part in the history of DC Comics and the history of American comics in general.”

>>89758931
>Yang also pointed out that the character shows how far DC Comics has come.

>“DC began with this yellow-peril image,” Yang said. “It’s basically a two-dimensional stereotype that was used to dehumanize an entire people. And now DC has taken its most important symbol, the Superman S, and stuck it on a Chinese character. Now we’re creating this three-dimensional Chinese hero.”
