I really liked these story arcs, but the Superman story arc was actually the one I found least interesting.

I think I'm going in a wrong with this "The World of Flashpoint series" because of the 2nd Series featuring the World of Flashpoint is incohesive for me. Maybe I should go check the Reading order and connect the dots myself. Nevertheless, I like this TBP not love it for various reasons.

For me, this alternate version of Superman is new except that I have seen him of various Animated Movies and TV shows. I love the way the story takes twists and portrays Superman and his origin differently. The What if situation about the Superman's Origin is beautifully handled is what I must say.

The World of Flashpoint part: I liked the way Traci 13's character is written but the end was more dramatic and sounded like an Indianisation for me where they could have brainstormed more in order to give a more different and interesting ending to her story.

Booster Gold: My first encounter with him in Comics and he is kinda nice the way he is written. I'm also eagerly looking forward to what Booster and The Flash can do to bring things back to normal.

On a whole this TBP is not as bad as I expected but a very decent read.

World of Flashpoint: Very intersting series, nicely written and with a compelling heroine. Some choices were a bit weird (
SpoilerJason, seriously ?
) but I still liked it.

Booster Gold: Didn't know that character at all, it makes for a very interesting introduction! Not so fond of how Alexandra was treated (a recurring trend in Flashpoint stories...) but enjoyed the rest. And that's definitely a character I'd like to see in the TV universe.

The Canterbury Cricket: What. Did I. Just read.

Project Superman: Not what I expected at all, I thought we'd focus more on Kal El. And yet, the relationship between Lane and Subject Zero was really interesting and well written. However the last part
Spoilercompletely ruined Lois' arc
so I'm not happy about that.

Project Superman - 3.5/5
Would've found it more interesting if the story had focussed more on Kal-El instead of someone called Subject Zero who started interesting but later turned out to be just a run-of-the-mill Superman villain.

World of Flashpoint - 2/5
Had the potential to be a [b:Frontline: Civil War|17164369|Frontline Civil War|Paul Jenkins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1356297505s/17164369.jpg|23590749] type tie-in, but squandered it horribly.

Booster Gold - 2.5/5
Started with Booster trying to figure out how the world changed, but turned into a romantic subplot and a two-issue long Doomsday beatdown.

The Canterbury Cricket - 1.5/5
Shitty backstory of one of the members of the Resistance. Completely unnecessary.


Average Rating - 2.375/5, rounded off to 2 stars.

Rounding up to 4 stars since we cannot award half, this is a solid 3.5.

Very strong start to this book, but got weak with the non- Superman stories that fill the end.
