Rating:  - A world without Superman just sucks
JLA: THE NAIL is a 1998 Elseworlds offering. For those not in the know, DC's Elseworlds line, much like Marvel Comics' What If series, takes superheroes out of their mainstream continuity and tweaks them into a new context and into an alternative history. This allows comic book writers and artists the freedom to dream up dynamic (even disturbing) twists that the corporate high muck-a-mucks normally wouldn't condone with their established cash cow titles.

Rating:  - Excellent what-if.

This is an Elseworlds story about the Justice League of America, it looks at what would have happened when a car tyre puncture stops the Kent family from finding the baby Superman.
Without Superman around the environment the heroes have to operate in is a lot tougher on them politically.
Rating: - way to go
I just read The Nail and Iwas extremely happy that I bought it. THe silver age is my favorite era of comics and Alan not only wrote them believably well but drew them well too. the last time I saw work this good was mhis work on batman and the outsiders
Rating: - A Disturbing Look At The Justice League
This DC Comics/Elseworlds graphic novel is a thorough tale of the JLI without Superman. Alan Davis did a excellent work making the established DC characters in their altered forms, like Green Arrow severely crippled, Hawkwoman(in a truly cool Hawk costume)now a widow, Robin and Batgirl murdered by the Joker in front of The Batman and Jimmy Olsen(Superman's Pal in the Current DCU)as the main villain. The Nail is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best JLI graphic novel I ever read in a while.
