    I remember Red Son being a fun read, the premise is that baby Superman lands in Ukraine instead of Kansas and is raised to be a comrade.

    Oh and Chile and the USA are the last remaining capitalist holdouts on earth, lol.

      Everyone says it's good, but I've always been super skeptical because Mark Millar usually writes trash. I should actually read it, get a real opinion

        As someone who usually doesn't like Millar, it's actually really fucking good.

        Avoids his worst tendencies and is actually a really great read.

        It's actually pretty decent, even if unintentionally. It tries to do the lib "communism bad because government wash your ass for you, no freedom to not wash ass, no one knows how to wash their own ass anymore!" take, but ends up making a point about even "benign" imperialism being toxic instead.

        He's an anarchist that gets aid from the capitalists to try to overthrow Superman

        Also Stalin's illegitimate son killed his parents or something
