“Red Son Rising”

In *Superman: Red Son: The Deluxe Edition*, the story "Red Son Rising" reimagines the Man of Steel’s origin with a bold twist: his ship lands in Ukraine during Stalin’s era, shaping a very different destiny. Years later, as Superman becomes the ultimate symbol in the Cold War, the United States turns to Lex Luthor—its most brilliant mind—to counter the Man of Steel. Written by Mark Millar and brought to life with striking visuals by Dave Johnson, this reimagined tale explores power, ideology, and identity in a world where the hero’s allegiance is everything.
