A review by guyswede
Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar

5.0

Red Son, Watchmen, and Dark Knight are why I’ll always give DC a chance. Marvel might be consistently better overall at pacing and DC tends to take itself way too seriously, but Red Son is just damn good speculation.

A terrific thought experiment played 100% through in a concise, compelling fashion. Amazing. It’s one of those few graphic novels I can re-read and find new nuance. Somebody said they made or were making a movie. I’m not that interested, although they didn’t completely mangle Watchmen.

I’ve purchased about half a dozen copies of Red Son, too; I keep giving it away. It makes a terrific gateway drug to those unfamiliar with graphic novels or superhero crap in general. I can’t rave enough. Read it!
