4 stars. This was an awesome Alternate Universe story. Superman as a Soviet hero? I wasn't too sure how this was going to go but it definitely works and it's done really well. The story is absolutely fascinating and done in such a brilliant way. I loved the historical aspects to this and that real people were used such as Stalin and John F. Kennedy. I feel like that gave it a bit more realism even with it being a superhero comic book. The artwork is absolutely amazing and the appearances of Batman, Wonder Woman and Hal Jordan and Green Lantern Corps was awesome and I legitimately freaked out. Even Oliver Queen is in this but it's a blink and you'll miss him type of cameo. This was fantastic and I definitely recommend it if you're a Superman fan. Even if you're not, you should still read this.
