The art was great, I really enjoyed that. The rest was just nonsensical.
I know this goes back to DKIII, but I still don't get where Lana's attitude torward people comes from. Jonathan is really creepy, I don't know if this was on purpose, but he's really weird. Also for a 6 year old, he talks like a grown up. Clark is an awful parent. He's there for like one page, then leaves Lara to be responsible for Jon. A ton of useless dialogue all over the place.

Lana's attitude is the way Miller writes Amazons - they hate "man's world". It's the way he wrote Diana in ASBAR.
I thought the political stuff was pretty obnoxious, though I think there is a thoughtful way to read it. The art really blew me away - surprisingly, since I normally am not into Grampa's type of style (like Chris Burnham, Frank Quitely - it usually creeps me out, but here it really made me marvel).
I really adored the way the three main characters were characterized. Some people really liked the villains' characterization, but I don't care that much about villains. I loved Carrie and Jon especially, and Lara had some good moments too.

Master Race was godawful, and I say that as a fan of Dark Knight Strikes Again.
This thing is an odd duck, but I'm happy to be exposed to Grampa's work. Basically Miller is telling us how he feels about Trump and that he read Morrison's Final Crisis/Multiversity. The front half was better than the back. Reminds me of the stuff Neal Adams puts out every now and then; it wouldn't get published if a veteran wasn't behind it.
Fascinating. I really can't stand DKSA, but I really enjoyed Master Race, while still acknowledging that a lot of it is simply a lesser work than the first two.
I thought spoilers:end of spoilers justified the back half enough. Really fun visual there.

I had a heck of a better time reading this than I have the issues of Batman vs. Ra's (though, to be fair, I dipped out of that really darn quick).

I really liked this one-shot.
I'm not a big fan of the products that have come from DKR, but I thought Master Race and The Last Cruzade were fine. I think what gave Golden Child the upper hand was Grampá and Bellaire. This team made up for one of the most visually exquisite comics that I have seen coming out this year. I was entertained the whole time while reading this comic even with Frank Miller's writing being way too much.
I didn't get bored like I saldy was with Superman Year One, which I stopped reading after the first book even when it has an amazing art by Romita Jr, Miki and Sinclair.
Maybe the negative critism against Trump isn't especially deep, but at the end of the day, I would say that everyone has made up their mind in favor or against Donald Trump, and here the opinion of the writer is clear at the same time that it plays with some of DC's characters in a, if not original, at least interesting way

I am surprised to see this here.. Is not about SUPERMAN kid this?![]()

The DKR world is weird..
I am not sure what to think about Carrie.. Similar about Lara(despite maybe I like here a little more)
For the kid? I don´t like Superman son in this universe..
Maybe I will read reviews about this to know if this is worth to read or not.
IS ONLY 1 ISSUE?![]()
