Superman Red Son Comic Book Review

[mtdeeley]

Am I the only guy who doesn't like this comic? It has the same failing as every Millar comic: Poor characterization. Take away the "reverse Superman" gimmick, and a lot of plot holes start appearing. Why does Lois Lane stay married Luthor when they're clearly not in love? Why does the US continue to employ Luthor after killing his lab assistants? And don't forget the ending: An egotistical murderer saves the world from a benevelont dictator.

No good guys in this book.

He doesn't die.Lex Luthor did not defeat him. "You should read it" - said by a guy that hasn't read it himself.

@1h8u2be Well I have read and it looks like lex won to me.

Where on earth this Brainiac originate from in this story? he just popped up out of nowhere !

I liked Red Son overall, but it slowed at the end, with some very over-the-top ideas that went beyond the suspension-of-disbelief that I enjoy about reading comics.

I liked the predestination paradox, but it didn't seem to fit tightly enough with the continuity of the story itself.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

i could of done without the ending , it should of ending 4 pages earlier . Lex in the end even uses the word kryptonian so im wondering if that was an error in the writing or what . anyone know ?

[WickedNemesis]

it's 18 hours. Nice how they tie EVERYTHING together. Those who read it know what I'm talking about.

[journeymanX]

I've read it myself it was provocative and captivating score one for Mark Millar

[themanmaydie]

Couldn't agree more Devin. Just finished it and that ending is amazing.

[LeninHammerSickle]

Red son is way cooler than Superman, becouse he's a Communist

[Conn8622]
