carolynlowe 's review for:
Superman: Red Son
by Mark Millar
I don't really like Superman as a character all that much. Something about him just doesn't do it for me. But I was greatly intrigued to give this a read since Superman and America basically go hand in hand. So how would Superman work as the hero of the U.S.S.R.?
This is definitely one of the better comics I've read lately and probably my favorite Superman comic. Mark Millar works the original Superman lore and characters into the Russian setting and it works so well. I really enjoyed the moral issues Superman faces and it was definitely interesting to see how he works to justify and spread the communist ideal across the world but also has to confront what to do with people who disagree. The art in this was fantastic, it had a kind of retro vibe to it that I loved a lot. This was very well done and executed wonderfully and I appreciated that this Elseworld didn't feel unbelievable or corny. All around just a great comic.
