Tangent: Superman's Reign #3 - DC

I like the idea that we're revisiting the Tangent Universe. I would assume, with the initiation of the new multi-verse, that this would be one of the 52 Earths. I don't know that for sure . . but, that's what I would assume. Although, lately, it seems like we're getting glimpses of some of these Earths only to then turn around and watch them get destroyed. That's what happened on the Utopian world were the Challengers found Ray Palmer. And then in the Lord Havok mini-series, we watched his world ultimately come to it's demise. So, ultimately, this story, really, could go either way. But my vote, for what it's worth, is to keep this world around. These were some fantastic characters when we first saw them, some ten years ago. And this time around, they've put even more thought in to the infrastructure and power-base of this world. It's a lot more involved and evolved than it was the first time around. Also, the first time around, there wasn't an interaction with the regular DC Universe. It was just it's own separate entity that we happened to get a glimpse of. But we've been getting hints, over the last year or so, that somehow, someway, there may be an overlap. Green Lantern's lantern showed up in our world. And the Flash was stuck her for a short period of time. Well, after coming in contact with our Flash and Green Lantern . . basically initiated by Wally, he and John Stewart decide to try to help them get back to their Earth. What they find is a depressed, down-trodden world ruled over by a tyrannical despot . . . . Superman. Obviously not "our" Superman . . but, a Superman none the less. The last couple of issues has really been focused on catching us up on the Tangent Universe, as far as where it stands now. But, on our Earth, Batman, along with Black Canary, Hal Jordan and Black Lightning, have noticed their colleagues disappearance, and are starting to investigate. Which, actually, is just in time because Superman has noticed the intrusion of these "off-worlders". I like these characters, and I like what they're trying to do. I just hope that Dan Jurgens and Jamal Igle can pull it off. It's a 12 issue series, so they have a little room to breathe here. Personally, I think it's worth checking out.
