I've been reading comics, off and on, since 1963. I just got this from the library and this "what if" story is the best comic I've ever read. Best. Comic. Ever! Incredible story, fantastic art. Loved it!

This is an Elseworlds story that mixes Superman with Jack Kirby's New Gods. I'm a fan of the New Gods and of seeing Superman outside of his normal books. I found this to be an interesting read and would recommend it if you like any of the characters like I do.
We get a good look at Darkseid in this book and due to the fact that its elseworlds , it gives them the freedom to take liberties on character's health and lives.
If you can pick it up for $10 or so it's worth it.

I borrowed a copy of this book from the public library. It's so good that I will be buying my own copy. It's very well written and the artwork is great, too. My very first exposure to Darkseid was when I watched the tv cartoon "Superman: The Animated Series". I didn't care too much for the story arc about Darkseid, but this book impressed me enough to want to buy my own copy.

The Elseworlds titles place defined & familiar characters in new situations and/or timelines. They are usually strong enough to standalone. Being passingly familiar with the main character typically helps, as you can then more readily follow the reimaginings and nods to events in the main continuity. This title is a good entry in the series, the premise is interesting and points to an innate 'good' in the central character no matter where he might grow up. However, lacking a good understanding of the 'New Gods', Darkseid et al, will impact the average reader simply looking for a 'different' Superman tale. They'll still find it a good read, with some pretty good art, but not exceptional. The "Red Son" variant, with Superman growing up in the Soviet Union, might be a more readily grasped book for casual collectors when it becomes available in a trade.

The Man of Steel is totally redefined in this tough, gritty elseworlds story. It's a totally new kind a superman story, one that is violent, bloody, and surprisingly dark. Only for those who like elseworlds.
