2013 Snowstorm Sci-Fi – Superman: Red Son

If the big snowstorm of 2013 has you trapped at home with nothing to do, here’s a little something to watch — the motion comic version of the graphic novel Superman: Red Son. In this “alternate history”, the spaceship containing baby Kal-El lands in the Ukrainian steppes instead of Kansas and Superman becomes Stalin’s number one and the symbol of communism and the Soviet way. Standing against him are American super-scientist Lex Luthor, a clever Russian dissident who dresses up in a bat costume and a former Vietnam POW and his power ring. Superman is normally pretty dull, but not in this story. Enjoy!
