Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Strange visitor from another world who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands… and who, as the champion of the common worker, fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, Socialism and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact.

In this startling twist of a familiar tale, a certain Kryptonian rocketship crash-lands on Earth carrying an infant who will one day become the most powerful being on the planet. But his ship doesn’t land in America. He is not raised in Smallville, Kansas. Instead, he makes his new home on a collective in the Soviet Union!

From the mind of Mark Millar, the best-selling writer of THE AUTHORITY and Wanted, comes this strangely different take on the Superman mythos. Featuring art by Dave Johnson, Kilian Plunkett, Andrew Robinson, and Walden Wong, with an introduction by film producer Tom DeSanto (X-Men, X2: X-Men United, Transformers), this Deluxe Edition also features an extensive sketch gallery by Johnson, Plunkett and Alex Ross.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My favorite Superman story
One reviewer argues that the premise--the boy from Krypton landing in the USSR as opposed the U.S.--had the potential to be a brilliant meditation on the genealogy of morals and right and wrong.

I suspect it is accessible for people who ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Superman What if ever.
Loved this book from beginning to end. If you like Superman you must read this story!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Superman - Red Son - Commie Clarity
Mark Millar has taken the imagination on a different tour of duty this time, and come up with a winner again. Can this guy not create?

Red Son and the concept behind it was radical in its thinking, and probably as unique a storyline I have read this year. All three collected works are published here in strong hardcover fashion adding to the unique industrial style of nostalgic Russian society in the 20th century.

The artwork and style, of which I just touched upon, was refreshing, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great concept
i really liked this book, it's a great idea and was very well executed a must read for superman fans



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A SUPERMAN FAN
Like many other reviewers of this paperback collection, I have never been a big Superman fan (just too darn powerful). But this is awesome and I intend to buy the hardcover. A truly daring Superman deconstruction-- landing in the Ukraine instead of Smallville, raised in Stalinist Russia, etc.Alternative history at its best.
