Über: Volume 1 is a dark comic, and that can be seen in the colour choices used. When Stephanie a spy for the British is able to escape and return home, can Churchill form his own group of soldiers to finally end the war? With spies in his ranks though and not everybody agreeing with his actions, there are weaknesses in his plans. The super-soldiers are part of an alternative history where Germany fights back in 1945 and Hitler starts to gain some vengeance on the allied powers. That is of course until we meet the Übermenschen the Germany secret weapon, super-soldiers. ![]() With an ambiguous sense of who are the heroes and who are the villains in the first half of the graphic novel, seeing the German people cowering from the Russian army and German soldiers deciding to run from the battle lines instead of fighting, you there is a moment of pity for them. ![]() When I started to read Über: Volume 1 I wasn’t exactly sure how to feel about what I was reading.
