JLA The Nail
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 [SPOILER - highlight to read]: 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
So did anyone else read it and enjoy it???? Opinions?????

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

Totally agree. He went all mother hen on Robin and Batgirl which was really cool. The downside is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: If they did another sequel, there'd be no Nightwing

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

I thought the art was great. Especially for Batman.

Indeed.
Personally I thought his shots of [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Batman's devastation over (and during) the death of Robin and Batgirl were incredible
