The Nail is one of the more interesting Elseworlds I've read, because the setting and time are fairly reminiscent of a Silver Age (1956-1970), in which the League has just arisen, bringing with them a whole slew of new heroes and villains. The only difference is, on this Earth, due to a nail puncturing one of their truck tires, the Kent's never went out for a drive the night Superman's rocket flew into a Kansas field, so they never found baby Kal-El. So in the present of this world, there is still a Justice League, but there is also a great deal of fear for metahumans, which are fueled by Oliver Green's (Green Arrow's), assertions that the League are a vanguard for an invading alien force. To top it all off, metahumans, both hero and villain are being arrested for no reason. I am not going to spoil the rest of the book, but I will say this, it is without a doubt one of the finest trades I've ever picked up. I encourage everyone who follows this blog to go out and buy a copy from your local comicbook store or pick up a copy on amazon.com
