Superman: Dawnbreaker (DC Icons, #4)

by Matt de la Pena

The blockbuster DC Icons series that began with Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman, Marie Lu's Batman, and Sarah J. Maas's Catwoman continues with the story of the world's first super hero - SUPERMAN - from award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author MATT DE LA PEÑA.

Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger, better than everyone around him. He knows drawing attention to himself could be dangerous but lately it's difficult to stay in the shadows. A dark secret is lurking in Smallville and he's not the only one hiding something.

With his best friend, Lana Lang, at his side, Clark is determined to discover what evil lies below the surface of their small town. But there are secrets in Clark's past that threaten to destroy the future Man of Steel.

Before he can save the world, he must save Smallville.

If you know me, you know I’m not a fan of DC in general and especially not of Superman (and Batman). However, I have been enjoying the first two DC Icons books very much (partly also due to the authors that wrote them). I have yet to read the Catwoman book, but I decided to pick up the Superman book first. I knew nothing of Clark Kent and his past, so all of this was completely new to me. Still, I very much enjoyed this book and while it has not made me want to watch any Superman movies, it has made me want to read more of Matt de la Peña’s books. If you love Superman and YA books, I do highly recommend you read this book!
