Pic related. The first Elseworlds comic and a great one. We were so close to getting a game based on it too.

Is Superman: Kal any good? Seems pretty run-of-the-mill, but I do like medieval takes on classic stories.

Is the whole trilogy good? A friend told me the last one is garbage

It sorta loses its way when batman gives in to the vampire temptations but it's still worth a read

I like the design for Hal better in this story than the main universe. Looks way cooler
>>
>>92192517
his back story was a lot better as well

>>92192529
It was really cool and weirdly dark, it's the sort of thing I read Elseworlds for
>>
>>92192515
Alright I'll check it out

This is the scariest version of superman. Most comics have dulled his powers but this is like silver age level powers. Being able to hear across the world and learning languages in seconds.

>>92192571
They made him a super genius too, beating Luthor in chess and working on a cure for Stalin after reading for like 1 minute
>>
>>92192601
Bizarro was the one that beat Luthor in chess, and that wasn't the first time Superman has done that "SUPER SPEED LIBRARY READ THEN SURGERY" power. He's done it with Lois more than once over the years.

I liked The Nail, really highlights the importance of Superman.

I always had a soft spot for JLA: Age of Wonder, I like that it told it's own story unique to the time period.

The first one is great, the second one is okay, third one is just so fucking over-the-top.

>This is the scariest version of superman.

You know in a way I have to agree; it's the best "scary" Superman in a way that makes things like Injustice (or any Superman that needs to be shown as evil by going outright killing people) feel kind of cheap. The whole Superman Robots thing works in a sense that it plays to Superman not wanting to kill people, but also simultaneously horrifying because he's basically reprogramming people against their will.

It's OK.

These two are great

Didn't know we could have gotten a game. That would have been awesome.
