A review by mfogel2002
Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar

2.0

I was hoping to really like this graphic novel as the concept sound great. Superman a communist, Russia becoming the great super power. What could go wrong?

In my opinion the writing is very sub-par. It was so distracting it took away for the story. I am not sure what it was about the writing style but it didn't work for me. The story was not nearly as good as I tought it was going to be. Superman becomes a politician and nearly creates Utopia. I guess I was hoping for Superman to be more of a bad guy.

I do like the art in the book and seeing superman in a different costume is a fresh take.

I would say this is a pass. I great thought but poorly executed.
