Justice League of America: The Nail
There is a legend in which a kingdom was lost because of one battle, because one knight was absent, because that knight was thrown by his horse, because of a nail left in the road. Justice League of America: The Nail applies this legend with the question, "What if there were no Superman to provide the back bone of the Justice League?"
Why is this so good?
It wasn't until I read this book that I realized how important Superman is to the DC Universe. He provides more than a strong punch and x-ray vision. Superman is a symbol that people can look up to. Without him, people are just as scared of the heroes as the villains.
No one else can provide this symbol.
Though this is one of the better graphic novels available, it does have a few flaws. It is just too short. The ending seems rushed and a bit too contrived. But, this book has plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader occupied and wanting more.
There is a sequel to this book, but it is not as good.
