It made me happy to read about Kara as more than just a bunch of boob jokes, and it gave me a thrill to see another Superman and "Supergirl" be so family oriented and so inspiring.<br /><br />Millar is someone I avoid at all costs; he is homophobic and misogynistic, and seems to be just able to write "gritty" versions of iconic super heroes. However, Red Son, I read years ago, and I remember I did enjoy it at the time, now I don't know. In any case, I thought that Diana responded as she did not only because she realized the truth of everything, but also that our original Superman's presence and character added to what he said. You know, how apparently awe inspiring and epic New52 Earth-2 Dick Grayson is.

This Earth is still in Grant Morrison's guidebook, and it is a very surprising take on when/where Superman arrives on Earth, but also another character that, in a way, makes perfect sense. Two Elseworlds are collected, it is one of my favorites in my collection.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.com
