    What if Superman was not raised by the Kents?

      

    Cover

    I had not read the Project Superman mini series so I was kind of scared that I would be lost if I did not read mini series because on the cover it says Project Superman in big fancy letters. But I was still very excited to see what Project Superman was all about.

    Story

    Batman and Flash work together to get his powers back. At first it did not work but they did not stop trying because if they gave up the world the Flash knew could be gone forever. Once the Flash got his powers back they went to ask Cyborg for help to get Superman out of Government facilities. When they released Superman, Superman did not stand beside them and fight but flew off.

    Best Part

    In this issue you see a lot of the mini series connected to Flashpoint start to connect with the main story. With big story arcs come a lot of mini series to help tell more of the story. But the writers of the main series of the story arc forget that all the readers are not picking up every mini series. So, it gets very confusing when you are only picking up the main series. I am glad with Flashpoint you are not lost but they can still mention stuff from the mini series for people following them. It is a prefect balance. I did not pick up the Project Superman mini series but I still understood what was going on in the story. I actually really enjoyed the story of Project Superman. It shows that because Clark was not raised by Martha and Jonathon he was a completely different person. When Superman always says he would not be the person he is if it was not for his parents that was completely true and was really shown in this issue. Being held in a cell for his whole life instead of being raised by his parents in Kansas made him Superman a coward and that is the reason he flew off when he had the chance. I really loved how this issue expressed that.

    Worst Part

    There was no worst part in this issue.

    Art

    I really liked the art in this issue. I am always impressed by how many designs they have to make for each character. I was really impressed by superman design and him being skinny because he had never been exposed by the sun.

    Pick it up or not

      Flashpoint 3 picks up immediately after the last issue. The Flash, Barry Allen, lies almost dead, covered in third degree burns after attempting to regain his powers in what was frankly the funniest way possible. Thomas Wayne, this timeline's Batman, stands at his side. The interaction between Barry and Thomas is great. Azzarello said he writes Dr. Wayne like Clint Eastwood in Gran Turino, and it shows in the main title as well. So, if you want a portrait of Barry and Tom, picture Kowalski talki...

      Flashpoint enters its middle chapter and continues going strong as Flash and Batman set upon the task of recreating the Justice League in the Flashpoint universe. While the issue does feature a couple of new reveals, it does also read very much like a middle chapter, covering some other things we are already familiar with via tie-ins and promotions while settling into the motions that will take us into the final act of the story.  Between this and his tie-in series which has also come out this w...
