A review by amyeewing
Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar

5.0

This was a truly awesome graphic novel. It had a bit of a slow start but quickly picked up. I loved the perspective of communism working and capitalism not working without villianizing or overselling either one. I also liked that Superman is still good but has a different perspective of what good entails. John and Martha Kent raised Superman to believe in an American way that doesn't really match up with reality so it makes sense that the Ukranian farmers would do the same for Communism pointing out that the ideas are good. It's the implementation that gets in the way.

Stepping away from political ideologies, the ending was perfect and brought the novel to a wonderful and fulfilling conclusion.
