An Elseworlds tale! What if there was no Superman? What if the DC Universe
was forever changed because of a single, tiny nail? Collected together for the
first time ever, these two Elseworlds classics examine a world without the Man
of Steel after, years in the past, a flat tire prevents Ma and Pa Kent from
discovering a small rocket ship with an alien baby inside. As a result, the
world's greatest hero never comes to be. Without Superman as a symbol of
unimpeachable integrity or a selfless leader who inspires greatness in their
ranks, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Atom, and Green Lantern
must battle public contempt and personal mistrust as they attempt to work
together to protect a world that fears them. These two deeply thoughtful and
provocative stories look at not only what effect the absence of Superman would
have on Earth, but what his lack of being--or delayed coming of age--would mean
throughout the entire multiverse. Collects JLA: THE NAIL #1-3 and JLA: ANOTHER
NAIL #1-3.
