Additionally, they are so tied up in the language of comics that they don't particularly translate that well. It doesn't seem like a good way of getting a different type of readership interested. I'm not saying they should be exclusively for that audience, but someone who has a minor interest in superheroes is more likely to discover the storyline through a novel than a comic. How cool would a Gotham Central novel have been? I hear there's a Kingdom Come novel out there that's pretty decent, but supposedly it has the same problem of glossing over important events and emphasizing trivial plot points. Kingdom Come does make more sense as an adaption, though. There's an audiobook version too. Maybe that should be your next review?

I mean. I tried, once, to read it, and I just couldn't. Sometimes You Have To Have Been There is the moral of that one. Crisis on Infinite Earths is just. I mean.
