By John Francis Moore<\/strong>, Kieron Dwyer<\/strong> & Hilary Barta<\/strong> (DC Comics) I’ll make this short and sweet. This book collects a three part miniseries from the Elseworlds<\/em> imprint, wherein DC properties are extracted from regular continuity for radical and extraordinary tales. The basic premise is simple.<\/p>\n When baby Kal-El’s rocket is sent to Earth from doomed Krypton it is intercepted before arrival and lands on Apokolips, the world of Evil New Gods. The Last Son of Krypton is personally raised by the ultimate dictator Darkseid, and on reaching his majority, irrevocably changes the universe. And then he reaches Earth and meets a reporter named Lois Lane\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n For any fan of Jack Kirby’s Fourth World, and the original Superman, this is a loving and powerful homage to magnificent concepts, mercifully free to reach a natural conclusion, unencumbered by the publisher’s need to keep all commercially viable characters alive and adventuring forevermore.<\/p>\n Written with wit and enthusiasm and magnificently illustrated Superman: The Dark Side<\/strong> packs an epic punch for all fans of high fantasy.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 1988, 1989 DC Comics.
