However, nothing beats a good Batman or Superman Elseworld. I was a Marvel fanboy, but my favorite comics are The Dark Knight Returns and Kingdom Come.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Kingdom Come is possibly the best comic in history. Their monthlies were good too, but their characters (outside of people like Bats, Supes, and Lantern) never had the name recognition of the Marvel guys. And they never had many really poplar teams (outside of JLA) like Marvel...</div>
