Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar
5.0
I wish more comics were like this.
The premise is simple: What if Superman had crashed into a pre-WWII farming collective in the Ukraine, instead of the crashing in the U.S.? What does that mean for the world he lives in, and for Superman himself?
Simple premises often have complex and nuanced conclusions, and this one hits both notes. This isn't a good guys/bad guys comic; it examines how good intentions play out in all sorts of scenarios, even in a totalitarian dictatorship, and it packs much more thought into this slim volume than some comics pack into several volumes. Add in some great art and you've got a wonderful package that I would definitely, definitely recommend.
