Superman: Red Son #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collected edition presents the complete three-issue Elseworlds miniseries that reimagines Superman's origin with a pivotal twist: what if the infant Kal-L's rocket had landed on a collective farm in the Soviet Union instead of Smallville, Kansas? Written by Mark Millar with art by Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett, the story follows a Superman raised with communist ideals, exploring his impact on global politics and his confrontations with familiar DC heroes and villains. The volume includes the full story arc, covers, and supplementary material from the original 2003-2004 series.
In Superman: Red Son #1, a world where Superman's ship landed in Ukraine during Stalin’s rule, the Man of Steel has grown into a symbol of Soviet power—now the ultimate weapon in the Cold War. With the U.S. desperate for a countermeasure, they turn to the only man capable of matching him: Lex Luthor. Written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Dave Johnson, with inks by Andrew Robinson, colors by Paul Mounts, and letters by Ken Lopez, the cover by Dave Johnson captures the tension of a divided world.
