Essentially, this book would be set on what would be considered ‘Earth Prime’, which is our earth- kinda. Here, there are no super heroes, except those found published in DC Comics and those Mediocre Competitors.
A group of friends, who used to pretend play as the Justice League of America, have become adults. Life’s not quite turning out as they expected. So, when a wealthy chum offers them a chance to live a day like the JLA, they reluctantly jump at the chance.
The art is gritty and the colors change from sepia (in the past) to gritty reality gray to bright pastels for the future. It’s weird reading about folks acting like Superman, Batman, and Ralph Dibny AND listen to them moan about bills, divorce, etc. What is this- Spider-man?
Elseworlds is DC’s imprint in which your favorite characters are put into realities that shouldn’t exist, like teaming Houdini with Batman. In Realworlds, we see how super heroes affect the lives of those who are influenced by the comic book realm of pop culture. It’s a Marvel-like take, but it’s not bad. There are 3 other books in the series, and I look forward to reading them as well.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
