Mostly reading sci-fi, fantasy, and comics/graphic novels, but occasionally some other stuff too.

Kind of Powers-esque, but obviously a lot earlier... Police force super. Interesting.

Admittedly, I've only read this one TPB, but it's story is not well contained at all.
One thing I really don't like in comic series is when there are so many publications all at once that you can't get a coherent storyline unless you read all of them. This is an example of that problem.
I know this is early in the "Rebirth" reboot, but it still means that I've read 128 pages for basically not much of anything...

Okay, this was actually pretty good. Some big plot-holes, but that's almost a standard in the monthly-release format (especially after this many decades), and I'll forgive that.

Mmmm... Not bad, but also not great. I actually enjoyed the "filler" stories at the end more than the main story arc. But sure if I'll keep or donate this one yet.

Ended more abruptly than I remember, but I think it definitely benefits from a second read though.

A re-read of an excellent story. I want to see how it's aged for me.

This apparently acts as a prequel to an animated movie that I haven't seen. So I don't really know how it relates to that. But, as a stand-alone story it's not too bad. Not great and essential reading, but not bad.
It's kind of Elseworlds-like, but doesn't carry that official branding (DC's label for non-canonical, alternative version stories). You get a chapter each for the quick origins of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; and then a few chapters on their combined story, narrated by a very skeptical Lois Lane.
It's definitely a darker version of each character, which is interesting, but explores a lot of the regular themes of "gods amongst men".
