With Superman Year One #3 on the stands, Frank Miller has completed his statement on Superman. Unfortunately, it’s clear that that statement is “Frank Miller doesn’t understand Superman, either as a character or as a symbol.”
Superman Smashes the Klan #1 // Review
Superman Smashes the Klan #1 is a great debut issue, taking a firm stand against hatred and xenophobia.
