So, after about 2 years of
collecting Elseworld tales, I finally decided to read some of them. (I still
have about 2 dozen tales to collect to have the entire series) Naturally, I
start with the first ever tale in the series.
Despite that it doesn’t say that
it’s an Elseworld, it’s the first book to explore the “infinite” earths since
the end of the Crisis. Gaslight is a fun tale, a bit short for my taste. But
more importantly, a format is being established, and I think I am in for some
real treats.
I solved the “mystery” of who’s Jack
the Ripper within the first 5 pages. That was a bit of a letdown. However, the
twist in which Bruce Wayne gets accused of the crime is really cool. And I like
how the ending has one of those “better dead than dishonored” endings found in
many of the Hercule Poirot mysteries.
I cannot wait to delve in deeper to
the Elseworlds.
