barryhaworth 's review for:
Superman: Red Son
by Mark Millar
This book (and its two sequel volumes) tells an alternate history version of the Superman story, with the sole survivor of Krypton landing not in Smallville but near a collective farm in the Soviet Union. The main threads of the story are then developed in a different way, with Superman as the champion for the rights of the worker rather than for Truth, Justice, and the American way. We see alternate versions of several other DC heroes as well (Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern). While I am no expert in such things I know enough of the backstory to enjoy seeing the changes rung on these different characters, and the artwork was delightful.
