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.

When I first looked at this coy of Red Son I was afraid I stumbled upon a poor reversal of Superman's roles. But I thought Amazon reader's reviews couldn't have been so wrong. I started reading it and by the end I was glad I bought it. Great scenario and an interesting combination of smart villains and political satire. The graphics nicely enhance the scenario. It's a good looking comic with a nice story and a very nice ending in my opinion. If you're reading this review I recommend you get the deluxe edition. I bought the soft cover just before I saw there was a hardcover available. It would have added a nicer feeling to it.

I picked this up for two reasons: One, I love Dave Johnson's covers for 100 Bullets and two, the premise seemed interesting.
After reading Superman: Red Son, I realized two things: One, this book is a true classic and two, it has fascinating parallels to an Incredible Hulk story by Peter David, "Future Imperfect".
In both stories, the main ominpotent/invulnerable characters of their resepctive universes (DC's Superman, Marvel's Hulk) are posed perhaps the most obivous yet complicated question by their writers: What is stopping these unstoppable but heroic beings from taking over Earth? And once the unstoppable but heroic beings do take over Earth, how do they choose to rule? The two stories have completely different answers to that question, but both are extremely well written and both also happen to look great, too.
Now maybe this all old hat to many readers and I am (as usual) late to the party. Nonetheless, this was like finding a hidden treasure on the comic book store shelf. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

okay, dig it man.
what if kal-el, the last son of Krypton, you know, Superman, landed in communist Russia instead of Kansas?
an awesome graphic novel, that's what.
that's basically all you need to know.
well,that, and the fact that superman grows up embracing the hammer&sickle instead of truth, justice, and the American way.
Even if you're an amateur comic enthusiast, its just a great story.
the only reason I give it 4 stars is because, without ruining the ending for who hasn't read it yet, let's just say a time paradox is involved.
and if anything pisses me off more than jump puzzles, its a time paradox.
But that's personal. besides that, awesome story.
Go buy it right now!
you can always return it if you don't like it.
Trust me tho, you will.
