It was almost disheartening to see how other heroes developed because of Superman's altered upbringing. But man this storyline rocked.

Not only is it entertaining in a spot-the-reference kind of way but it also manages to reinforce one of the more relevant historical lessons of our time: however well intentioned a dictator starts out, eventually power becomes its own end.
What makes this graphic novel especially brilliant is that it delivers this lesson without changing ... Read More
