John A. Byrne (1)

Follows the careers of Batman and Superman, starting in 1939 and finishing... oh wait, that'd be a spoiler!

It's a great take on the dynamic duo, focusing on what they tick and how their friendships blossomed over the years. The first two chapters are great to read, especially in the way Batman is humanized. The third chapter is brutal for what it is, but all that is redeemed by the end.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of either of these two titans.

I've always liked when comics play in real time, and this is a nice alternate history of a Batman and Superman who grew old together. Byrne's art is lovely as always and the story is not bad at all.

I enjoyed this book for what it is. It speaks to the idea that both of these characters can evolve. Both go through changes that help them grow as people. That doesn't happen much in comics. This is one of the rare time where both characters changes don't insult the legacy of the characters.

This is an Elseworlds TPB that's all bout Superman and Batman and how their lives and families weave around and collide against each other over the decades. From 1939 all the way to 2919.

They meet at the 1939 Metropolis World's Fair. From there they meet their loves, marry, have kids, their kids go through the same things that kids and adults in each of the decades were going through, oh yes, while also fighting bad guys that range from the Ultra-Humanite to the Joker, a couple of Imps, to show more even Luthor.

It was an interesting Elseworlds tale for sure. It was a little bit more political than I like in my Comics. And at som points I got a little lost trying to figure out the Batman side of things. Not to mention it would have been cool to actually see who Bruce's wife was. show less
