I just read Superman:Secret Identity last night and I really liked it! I thought it was just going to be a neat spin on Superboy, but I was pleasantly surprised. This book is all about how a real life kid named Clark Kent all of a sudden gains the powers of Superman. My only complaint I guess would be that there wasn't much explanation of how it happened.

But the great thing was that it went right from his teenage years when he develops his powers all the way to his final years as this Earth's Superman, living in secret. The artwork is great and the story is well-written.

I wasn't too into DC back in the Crisis days but now I really would like to get into it. Are there any other Crisis related graphic novels? It seems like it's too epic of a story to contain in one book. Didn't it crossover most of DC's comics?

I think the next books I want to track down are Batman:Hush and Superman and Batman:Public Enemies.[img][/img][img][/img]

For the main Crisis story check out the trades. All of them have been collected. Crisis on Infinite Earths, Identity Crisis, and Infinite Crisis. Also be on the lookout for the upcoming big one, Final Crisis...

It all started with Flash of Two Worlds and continued to The Justice League of the 60s on through to Crisis on Multiple Earths and then to Crisis. Later there was Armaggedon 2001 that came out surprisingly enough in 1991. And Zero Hour later on.

Secret Identity was awesome. I have read most of the important stories begining with Crisis on Inf earths, I am at 52 right now. I have a lot of reading and books to buy. I have read as much as the Cincinnati Public Library has to offer (which was suprisingy alot).

Flash: Barry allen Story (cant remember the exact title) was really good and probably one of my favorites so far.
