“The Nail”

In a world where the Kents had a flat on the day Kal-El’s rocket landed, Lex Luthor stokes fear against aliens, targeting the Justice League of America. Martian Manhunter goes undercover, uncovering a deeper conspiracy as Lois Lane traces alien DNA to a secret project—and Jimmy Olsen, now bonded with Kryptonian genetics, emerges as the true architect behind the Liberators. With the League divided and an unexpected ally from the Amish community stepping into the fray, the line between hero and villain blurs. Written and illustrated by Alan Davis, with inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Patricia Mulvihill, and letters by Patricia Prentice, the cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer captures the tension of a world remade.

In a world where the Kents got a flat on the day Kal-El's rocket crashed, Lex Luthor foments anti-alien fervor directed at the members of the JLA. Martian Manhunter goes undercover and finds that Lex is not the mastermind, but just a pawn. Lois Lane discovers that Luthor found Kal-El's ship and traces of his DNA from which he created his enforcers, the Liberators. But it is Jimmy Olsen, grafted with Kryptonian DNA, who is behind it all. He joins the Liberators against the JLA, but an Amish man enters the fight and battles Jimmy until his Kryptonian DNA graft fails and he crumbles to dust.
