“Red Son Rising”

In Superman: Red Son #1, a world where Superman’s ship crash-lands in Soviet Ukraine during Stalin’s rule sets a radically different course for Earth’s mightiest hero. Years later, as the Cold War reaches its peak, the U.S. turns to Lex Luthor to counter the seemingly unstoppable symbol of the Soviet Union. Written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Dave Johnson, with inks by Andrew Robinson and colors by Paul Mounts, this pivotal issue reimagines the Man of Steel in a world where ideology shapes destiny—its cover by Dave Johnson capturing the weight of that alternate reality.
