james_desantis 's review for:
Superman: Red Son
by Mark Millar
Listen, I love some of Mark's stuff.
I hate some of it.
But a lot of it is just in the middle. This is one of them.
So I won't explain the plot in detail, because you can just read that anywhere. Something I loved was the very nature of Superman is still the same. He is a symbol of Hope. This isn't Injustice Superman (Which I love) he has different views but he's still the good hearted Superman we all know and love. I also liked the idea of Lex being basically the ruler of America while Russia falls into Superman's domain. Also Bats vs Supes was very fun.
What didn't I like? Talk about wordy. Some moments, or whole issues, could have been cut down. It's just a lot of talking with very little meaning. We get the ideas with the pictures, that's why it's a comic, so you don't have to spell out everything...Duh! Also the whole middle felt a bit dragged out and boring.
However the ending was a nice wrap up and brought a smile to my face. I wasn't inlove with this story but I did enjoy it enough to give it a solid 3 stars. Good.
