5.0 out of 5 stars " I don't need a son , I'm immortal , I'm my own legacy ", August 22, 2005

Hand of Justice (Florida , USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Superman: The Dark Side (Paperback)

This is an Elseworlds story that mixes Superman with Jack Kirby's New Gods. I'm a fan of the New Gods and of seeing Superman outside of his normal books. I found this to be an interesting read and would recommend it if you like any of the characters like I do.

We get a good look at Darkseid in this book and due to the fact that its elseworlds , it gives them the freedom to take liberties on character's health and lives.

If you can pick it up for $10 or so it's worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing "What If?" Story, October 18, 2000

sdelmonte@aol.com "Simon DelMonte" (Flushing, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superman: The Dark Side (Paperback)

The premise is simple: what if Kal-El's ship escaping Krypton landed not on Earth but a world of evil? John Francis Moore - a master of DC's Elseworlds alternate timelines format - and his frequent partner Kieron Dwyer recreate the worlds of Superman and of Jack Kirby's New Gods and mix and match old concepts with new to form something that is familiar to older readers but accessible to newer ones.

Look for some great twists on old legends, and a Lex Luthor who looks suspiciously like "Gargoyles" villain David Xanatos.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different kind of Superman stroy, February 7, 2002

King Slayer (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superman: The Dark Side (Paperback)

The Man of Steel is totally redefined in this tough, gritty elseworlds story. It's a totally new kind a superman story, one that is violent, bloody, and surprisingly dark. Only for those who like elseworlds.
