A Soviet Superman? Once Again, Millar does not disappoint!
Ranking: 5 stars
Once upon a time there was an infant named Kal-El from the distant planet Krypton. When the planet's red sun was going out, Krypton was on the verge of destruction. In order to save one of their race, Kal-El's parents place him in a little spaceship and send the ship to Earth while everyone else dies with Krypton and it's sun. Kal-El would eventually become Superman, the Man of Steel. And where on Earth does his ship land, not on a small farm in Kansas, but in the heart of communist Russia!
If you think that I'm making this up, I am not. In this parallel universe, Superman now fights for the soviets, the expansion of communism, and Joseph Stalin. Eventually after Stalin's death, Superman takes control of the Soviet Union and soon America is the only noncommunist country left on Earth.
An entirely original Superman Storyline by Ultimates writer Mark Millar, filled with lots of action and meaningful moments! The best Superman storyline ever since The Death of Superman!
