| DC Icons Book 4 |
When the dawn breaks, a hero rises.
His power is beyond imagining.
Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger--better--than everyone around him. But he wasn't raised to show off, and drawing attention to himself could be dangerous. Plus, it's not like he's earned his powers . . . yet.
But power comes with a price.
Lately it's difficult to hold back and keep his heroics in the shadows. When Clark follows the sound of a girl crying, he comes across Gloria Alvarez and discovers a dark secret lurking in Smallville. Turns out, Clark's not the only one hiding something. Teaming up with his best friend, Lana Lang, he throws himself into the pursuit of the truth. What evil lies below the surface of his small town? And what will it cost Clark to learn about his past as he steps into the light to become the future Man of Steel? Because before he can save the world, he must save Smallville.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Another great edition to the DC Icons series, it's finally Superman's turn. And Matt de la Peña does an excellent job of Superman's origin story. With new twists and turns, familiar faces, and a story that really brings justice to who Clark Kent. In this book, Clark is struggling to control his abilities. He realized early that he was stronger than faster than those around him, but now he is discovering some new powers, which leaves him with some questions. Like who is he? Why does he have this abilities? His parents are keeping something from him and he realizes that it may be time to find some answers. Meanwhile, people are disappearing in Smallville. He teams up with his best friend Lana and some new friends to find out what's really going on in their small town. Action, plot twists, and birth of a hero, Superman Dawnbreaker has it all. It really was a great portrayal of a young Superman finding his way.
