Tangent: Superman's Reign #4 - DC


Some more of the Justice League is dragged over to the Tangent Universe this issue. Specifically, Batman, Black Lightning, Black Canary and Hal Jordan. Hal was using his connection to John's ring to try to find a way to get him back. But the Green Lantern of the Tangent Universe decided to pull him over instead. So he brought the rest of the gang with him. We find out this issue that the Tangent Superman is actually Harvey Dent. And the Atom that they rescued from Superman at the end of last issue? It's actually Power-girl in disguise. So now, after all of this time, Superman knows where the graveyard is that Green Lantern has been hiding everybody. This was their last safe haven. However, with the addition of these new people, they may be able to somehow gain the upper-hand on Superman. It's a long-shot, but . . maybe. I'm enjoying this series, mainly because I like the alternate universe thing. I like the different versions of our heroes, and the different ideas for how things operate. It's kind of like DC's own Ultimate Universe. Maybe? Anyways, I think Dan Jurgens and Jamal Igle are doing a fantastic job with this story. Right now they're kind of painting all of our heroes into a corner, but it'll be interesting to see how they fight their way out of it. And with any luck, maybe we'll get some kind of Tangent Universe thing going after this series. Maybe? Please!
