1. Justice Riders
…the Justice League were cowboys?
This book is perfection. It’s rad as hell, and easily the best thing on this list. The premise? It’s a Magnificent Seven-style western about the Justice League. In 1873, Professor Felix Faust and Maxwell Lord are tearing a path of destruction through the old west, and US Marshall Diana Prince is gonna stop it.
She enlists the help of outlaw gunfighter Wally West, the Kid Flash; Native American warrior Katar Johnson, the Hawkman; and swindler/mad scientist duo Michael Carter and Ted Kord. The team, along with the mysterious John Jones and vicious Pinkerton Guy Gardner, set off to save the west from Faust and Lord’s machinations.
The book is quite short, but still manages to cram an impressive amount of story and character into its few pages. Seriously, none of it feels rushed or overburdened. It’s really skillful and good. And it’s the only book on this list I would unequivocally recommend. To anyone. And everyone. I’m just upset we never got a sequel.
And there’s ten more alternate reality stories from DC’s Elseworlds line!!! There’s still plenty more left for me to get to, so you’ll definitely see another one of these things before too long!
