On November 2001, Stan Lee made his mark on the DC Universe.

Welcome to Earth-6.

This . . . words fail me.

I liked his version of Superman. The most powerful man of the world had this inferiority complex I found interesant.

That sure is something to think about.

I literally just finished the omnibus today. There were some pretty interesting characters. As said, his Superman was an interesting take that felt distinctly Lee but also fairly original. He didn't feel like anything Stan had written at Marvel. Flash was a wonderful character that prefigured the sort of young characters Marvel is putting out now- a trait shared with the Tangent Flash, if you really think about it. Shazam and Sandman were fun dips into non-pure superhero genres.

Granted, it had some severe faults too. The overarching story gets super messy by the end, with Crisis being a pretty dire mess in most regards. That's OK though, considering that's just one out of about a dozen oneshots.

I'd be remiss without mentioning the art, as well. It was all great. Just across the board great. Guys like Gary Frank and Chris Bachalo put out some fantastic stuff. Joe Kubert and Big John Buscema returned to put out some of the best work on the stands at the time. even John Byrne did some work I enjoyed. IMO it's worth experiencing just for the art!

I really enjoyed the Flash and Superman.
I actually found the first book released, Batman to be the weakest of the bunch.
