I recently enjoyed reading the hardcover Superman novel called "Dawnbreaker" by Matt De La Pena. I didn't know what to expect, as there are so many iterations of Superman, and so many stages of his life. This was Clark Kent's "coming out" story and a story that envisioned how his super powers developed to a point where he was ready to act (and in the Super-suit that his mom made from his Kryptonian blankets). The supporting characters from high school were believable and great. From the football friends to Lana Lang (Clark's childhood friend). I enjoyed the story and was anxious to get to the end to see how it turned out. It was a really great Superman story, and I highly recommend it. 5 of 5 stars! - Rob

DC Icons continues with the coming-of-age story of the world's first super hero, SUPERMAN, from Newbery award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author MATT DE LA PEÑA.
When the dawn breaks, a hero rises.
Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger--better--than everyone around him. But it's not like he's earned his powers . . . yet. Lately it's difficult to hold back and keep his heroics in the shadows.

Teaming up with his best friend, Lana Lang, Clark discovers that before he can save the world, he must save Smallville.
