The Man of Steel Stars in DC's New Superman: Red & Blue anthology mini-series! In the spirit of DC’s iconic Eisner Award-winning Batman: Black & White anthology series, DC proudly announces Superman: Red & Blue, a new anthology mini-series presenting fresh new takes on the Man of Steel. Around the world, everyone knows that when they see a red and blue streak in the sky, it’s not a bird...it’s not a plane...it’s Superman! Academy Award-winning writer of DC Future State: The Next Batman John Ridley joins artist Clayton Henry (Batman/Superman) to tell a story of Clark Kent as he confronts a villain who still haunts him, in a story that shows what Superman can mean to a whole country. Brandon Easton (DC Future State’s Mister Miracle) and Steve Lieber (Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen) take readers to the streets of Metropolis to show how one hero can mean so much to an individual in pain. Writer/artist Wes Craig (Deadly Class) tells a tale of Superman’s early days and the man who inspired him to become the hero he is today! Marguerite Bennett (DC Future State: Kara Zor-El, Superwoman) and artist Jill Thompson (The Sandman, Black Orchid) give us a tale of teenage Clark Kent, while Dan Watters and Dani, the team behind Coffin Bound, bring us an outlandish fable about what happens when all colors are stolen! This collection includes Superman Red & Blue #1-6

Granted, I've read more Batman than Superman, but this is easily the best Superman graphic novel I've ever read. Similar to Batman Black and White in that it's a collection of shorter stories, in a particular colour scheme, by different writers and artists. Unsurprisingly, of course, they're a lot more upbeat!Ma Kent in Own is everything I want to be when I grow up.
I think Patience... felt the most like classic fun.
Fetch and Kilg%re City are faves.
Something to Hold On To got me EMOTIONAL but
the one that seemed to be untitled, featuring “you are special, I love you, I'm proud of you” DESTROYED me in the best way. 😭 Big thank you to Tumblr for allowing me to come across random panels of this collection that made me need to read it.
