This has got to be some of the best storytelling I’ve seen in a comic in a long long time. Especially if you’ve just finished an Uncanny X-Men.
I like the new twist on everything and the way it’s being presented. The thick cover and no ads is worth the extra couple of bucks.
For those of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, Red Son is a comic that plays out that Superman crash landed in Soviet Russia in the 50’s instead of the United States. The trend seems to be that in every issue a new superhero from the DC universe is introduced to take on Big Blue (or is it Big Red?).
For the most part I like it a great deal. However, the use of Wonder Woman in part 2 irked me to absolutely no end.
Aside from that, however, I think it’s an interesting take on Superman, and it’s nice to see that Batman isn’t the one getting all the cool Elseworlds like always. Can’t wait for part 3.
