Has anyone else read this? or The sequel for that matter? I recently did and now I'm gonna have to buy it. It's an "else-world" storyline.

The storyline was fantastic. It delivered shockers early on, developed a mystery that seemed really obvious as to who the culprit was (considering the difference between the else-world and the normal DCU I thought the culprit was going to be obvious) but the plot brings in a nice surprise. The artwork was nothing short of fantastic (Alan Davis rocks!!!) My only criticism was that For the fact that Superman was not trained in powers or fighting skills, he did really well in the last battle But I'm willing to let that go.

Overall The art was great, the storyline was superb and developed at a steady pace. The sequel was just as good. One of if not the best JLA storyline I have ever read yes

So did anyone else read it and enjoy it???? Opinions?????

willRules
Anyone? confused

Symmetric Chaos
Maybe I be looking for it now.

willRules
sweet. I highly recommend it. I'm tempted to buy it on amazon (Along with the sequel JLA: Another Nail)

Solidus Snake
loved it


part 2 was a lil strained for me. but part one was great.

willRules
big grin I'm glad someone else enjoyed it yes

Was it me or was classic Batman a Badass with Joker even before Robin and Batgirl bite the dust????

Solidus Snake
i loved the take on him.

its not that he doesnt care. he cares too much

laughing out loud Outside of when Jim lee's drawing him Supes is one of my least favourite DC character's. That's probably why I liked the nail soo much yes

Totally agree. He went all mother hen on Robin and Batgirl which was really cool. The downside is If they did another sequel, there'd be no Nightwing sad

Meh , Amish Supes just isn't my cup 'o tea.

Russian or Apokalyptian Supes on the otherhand....

Its becasue he hasn't expended any of his stored solar Radiation during his lifetime, therefore he's a lot more powerful than usual.

Normal DCU, Russian, Apokoliptian Supes isn't my cup of tea either. that's why I liked JLA: the Nail. Cos there was virtually no Supes in it at all yes

Symmetric Chaos
Just read it.

Incredible story.

willRules
thumb up big grin

Glad you enjoyed it. The art alone is fantastic but the storyline seals the deal yes

I need to buy a book off Amazon (The Aeneid) so I'm gonna buy the trade and the sequel in trade at the same time yes

some parts were ok, im just generally not a fan of his style... though that shot of bats holding a dead joker on the roof of arkham was pretty cool...

Indeed.

Personally I thought his shots of Batman's devastation over (and during) the death of Robin and Batgirl were incredible
