"Some of DC's most popular titles from the 1990s were published under the Elseworlds banner, which recast DC's heroes in strange settings, with reimagined histories. The Elseworlds comics included some of DC's perennial sellers, such as Kingdom Come and Superman: Red Son. Now, for the first time, DC collects the Elseworlds tales that have never been in book form before, starring Batman, Superman, the Justice League of America, Wonder Woman and more!"--
"In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places--some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow"--
