Summary: Good 'what if' story, but predictable
Comment: The Nail is a relatively good story and worth the reading. It could have been less predictable. It takes a 'Marvel' slant about 'meta-humans', which made it predicable to some extent. The characters are consistent with the 70s aspect of their development. It is a self-contained story with no continuity subplots, so it's an easy read.

Summary: The nail at the center of the moral universe.
Comment: "For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the horse was lost, for want of the horse the rider was lost, for want of the rider the kingdom was lost...."
Imagine a world without Superman. Imagine a world without the concept of Superman. You quickly see that the Kryptonian is more than merely the most physically powerful of the world's heroes. Superman is the one constantly good and true fact in the world. He is the nail at the center of the moral universe. Without his example and leadership would the rest of the super-heroes have the will and determination to oppose and triumph over evil no matter the cost? That's what this Elseworlds tale explores.
I found this tale to be one of the all time best in the history of graphic novels. I rank it up there with _Kingdom Come_ and Millar's _Dark Knight_. It is also an eye opening story about team work and the importance of a true leader. You can have all the greatest individual talents in the world on an all-star team, but without that selfless team leader who inspires everyone to forget their own egos and agendas and to play for something greater than themselves, then the team will crumble when the going gets tough and ruthless.
Yeah, I liked this story alot.

Summary: Great Silver Age Story
Comment: This book reminded me of the time when heroes were actually heroes and not grim vigilantes with questionable ethics. Engaging, fun, and a little bittersweet, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the silver age League are at their best. Superman eventually plays a role and the story wraps up with an enjoyable ending.
