DC Premium #29
In a bold reimagining set during Stalin’s era, Superman’s spacecraft crash-lands in Ukraine, sparking a decades-long ideological battle. Years later, as the Cold War intensifies, the U.S. turns to Lex Luthor to create a new superweapon—only to find that the past may hold the key to the future. Written by Mark Millar and Christian Heiss, with dynamic art by Dave Johnson and inks by Andrew Robinson, this gripping tale blends history and heroism in a story that redefines what it means to be a symbol. The cover, also by Dave Johnson, captures the tension with striking detail.
In a chilling twist of history, Superman’s spaceship crashes in Ukraine during Stalin’s era, setting a course that reshapes the Cold War. Years later, as the world teeters on the brink, the United States turns to Lex Luthor to forge a new superweapon—only to find that the past is far from buried.
In a world where Superman now leads the Soviet Union, the line between hero and political figure blurs as Lex Luthor’s living weapons threaten to dismantle his new regime. With Batman—his most cunning adversary—now a force to reckon with, Superman faces a battle not just of strength, but of ideology and loyalty.
In a world where Superman’s rule is absolute—except in the United States—Lex Luthor seizes the presidency and launches a final, desperate assault on the Man of Steel. With global dominance at stake and the last free nation holding the line, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance.
