It's just Elseworld. It won't kill you if you read it. Personally, I find ending shitty.

I think it's overrated. The ending should have been Kal-L landing in Kansas instead of Russia again. It was kinda dumb.

It's a shot story, it would not have a great final.

We will never know the unparalleled joy and peace of Commie Supes absolute rule.

The whole world would be a utopia with communism AND SUPERMAN FIXING EVERYTHING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

With the perfect man in charge of everything fixing everything manually and solving every problem instantly even an Amish-Fascist-vegetarian-Muslim world is a utopia.

Swamp Thing (especially the Curt Swan issue)
The Flash (you probably have some excuse for this)
Superman Adventures (not the same thing as The Adventures of Superman, just fyibtwtbh)
The Authority (much better than Ellis if I'm being honest here)
The Ultimates (I will be really disappointed if you choose to ignore the rest of my post just because you disagree with this one)
Superior (I'm surprised it's not a movie already)
Jupiter's Legacy/Circle (but, to be fair, who can say no to this artwork?)
Starlight (ditto)
MPH (more Flash)
Huck (though to be honest, I'm disappointed in him because X Meets Y mashups are almost always lazy ideas)

Communism is perfect in theory, it just fails when you bring in the human factor. It could work with a completely selfless being like Supes in charge. I actually hated how in the end he realizes Communism is wrong and the Americans win in the end. Almost felt like it defeated the entire purpose of the story it was trying to tell.

It's a decent story but it doesn't really feel like it has a point other than "communism is bad to the point that communism under Superman is going to be far worse than capitalism under Lex Luthor".

Why don't you put the whole world in a spoiler, anon?

It seems to me it was less about ideology and more that Superman was forced to confront that he himself was the problem. He realized he was wrong to impose his will on the world, regardless of whether or not it would've improved things.

It wasn't about whether communism is right or wrong, but whether the characters are.

In the end feel that Lex was right, but for the wrong reasons, and Superman was wrong, but for the right reasons.[/spoilers] That's how I saw it, at least.

That issue was pretty great though, and better than Red Son, which is just decent at best. It's what Red Son should've been.

You claim that you haven't read the rest, but you're making claims about their quality.

I expect you to not make claims about comics that you haven't read. But you fail at that, so you cannot be trusted.

Oh well, life goes on. I'm sure you'll learn nothing and you'll complain about those comics in the next Millar thread too.
