“Red Son Setting”

This striking 2003 closer to DC's Elseworlds trilogy imagines a Superman shaped by Soviet ideology, and Dave Johnson's cover drives that point home with chilling elegance — a stern, downward-gazing Superman rendered in stark red, white, and black propaganda-poster style, his face half-shadowed as the bold tagline "He's Watching You" looms beneath him. The red star emblem anchors the composition, evoking classic totalitarian imagery and making it clear this Man of Steel is something far more unsettling than a hero. With Mark Millar writing, Kilian Plunkett on art, and Walden Wong inking, "Red Son Setting" promises a powerful conclusion to one of DC's most thought-provoking what-if stories.
