Superman: Red Son
Printed under DC's Elseworld continuum. Winner of the 2004 Eisner award for Best limited series. Based on the premise of "what if Superman grew up in the USSR instead of America?"
From Wiki:
Superman's rocket ship lands on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas, an implied reason being a small time difference (a handful of hours) from the original timeline, meaning Earth's rotation placed the Ukraine in the ship's path instead of Kansas. Instead of fighting for "...truth, justice, and the American Way", Superman is described in Soviet radio broadcasts "...as the Champion of the common worker who fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact."

Interesting read, I'll give it that. Less an analysis of ideologies, more of a study on Superman as a super man. Bottom line is, it's not which political system is best, it's about who's got the strongest weapon. On a very important note: Luthor is rockin' this one.
Next to be uploaded (possibly next week, or when I'm feeling randy): Magneto Testament. In other comics news, Neil Gaiman's Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader has been delayed again...
Finished my first attempt at being a playwright. Tightening up the plot before moving to the next story.
