Elseworlds: Superman and Batman: Generations

Alright, sorry about the delay in postings, today's post will cover, well I'm not sure one can exactly call this series an "Elseworlds", but it certainly has the ring of it. Superman and Batman: Generations, is a four issue mini-series that examines the long careers of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight Detective, with each issue having two stories, each taking a ten year leap in the lives and careers of these heroes. I'm not going to bore everyone with breaking down the details of each issue and story, but they are chock full of excitement. After the success of the first series, two more were spawned, with the second one taking elven year leaps in the careers of these heroes and in the timeline of the DC Universe. This one was a twelve issue series and like the first two, took large leaps, but by century instead of by years. Again I am not going to bore people with the details, or spoil the surprises that await in each series. You can find trade paperbacks for the first two series's online at Amazon.com, but the third one has no trade, so if someone wants to read the full story, it's going to take some looking. And once again to whoever is out there and is reading these posts or will be reading these posts, from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I hope everyone is starting off the New Year well, and happy reading, watching, whatever to all fans of comic books and science fiction etc.
