2. Superman: Red Son
…landed in communist Russia?”
Superman: Red Son is really, really clever and entertaining. Mark Millar tells the story of the Soviet Superman and his battle with American Scientist Lex Luthor and the Russian terrorist known as Batman.
Plus tragic Bizarro, monarchical Wonder Woman, and the USAF Green Lanterns. It’s a smart book, and one that you really should check out if given half a chance. It’s a thoughtful examination of who Superman is and why he is that way.
Plus, it’s a great look at the horrors of an authoritarian Superman, but one that also shows that no matter what, Superman is still Superman. And although I think the very end crosses the line into being too smugly clever, I appreciate the book as a whole and think it’s one of – if not the – finest of Millar’s comics.
