Bonesaw Comiccast – Episode 1: Marveling at Batfleck’s Dragon Balls
Celebrating the release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, we at The Bonesaw are proud to present to you The Bonesaw Comiccast.

Throwback Thursday: Superman – Red Son
In 2004, Mark Millar took Superman and asked the unthinkable: what if our hero landed in Soviet Russia instead of the United States of America?
Red Son is that terrifying three part re-imagining.
While Superman is still saving people and attempting to be the most noble creature he can be; he takes orders from Joseph Stalin and mostly protects only Russian citizens.
The few times he does set foot on American soil (while saving American citizens) he is still not greeted kindly and is feared thanks to propaganda and Lex Luthor – who is in fact the smartest man in the world, married to Lois Lane and eventually becomes President of the United States.
Once Stalin dies Superman takes control of Mother Russia to create a Utopian society with the aid of Wonder Woman. This creates a dilemma with an anarchist Batman (complete with Soviet origin). Over time Superman becomes obsessed with creating a perfect world, further separating himself from the human race.
On top of that, Luthor constantly devises plans to destroy Superman solely because he challenges Luthor’s God complex by simply existing. Luthor creates Braniac, Bizarro and even the entire Green Lantern Corps attempting kill Superman in this unbelievable take on the D.C. Universe.
Red Son reads like a film, with each page representing a scene. The illustrations by Kilian Plunkett and Dave Johnson create the noir based shots and camera angles while Paul Mounts, Andrew Robinson and Walden Wong’s vibrant, yet gritty colors bring the story to life. Red Son will glue you to its pages and suck you in with its social commentary. Every page has you wondering what will happen next with equally shocking results each time.
Red Son will make you gasp, shiver and wonder why an animated feature hasn’t been made. If there’s anything to be said, the realism of the world Millar has created in this book is shocking, controversial and a highly enjoyable masterpiece.
Trailer Feedback: Batman V Superman – Dawn of Justice
The trailer for the film comic book fans have been waiting for has finally been unveiled.
Apparently, Superman has developed a God complex with Batman taking matters into his own hands (as usual) in an effort to take him down.
Upon a statue of America’s most iconic figure we hear how all men who are given too much power is corrupted in multiple ways before cutting to Ben Affleck gazing into the hallowed eyes of the legendary cowl before a glimpse of Batman emerging from some wreckage.
Our next shot is the showdown of the world’s most recognizable superheroes straight out of Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns;” complete with high-tech bat-suit.
Cyber Bat-Fleck then utters the words “Tell me, do you bleed? You will,” before we cut to the graphic.
While we don’t exactly know what the plot is we have definitely seen some potential key development in why our heroes are fighting. However, we know the film is not going to be about them fighting alone. Regardless, we are definitely interested and are looking very forward to another trailer.
Well played Hollywood, well played.
