☆ Be the first to reviewThis collection kicks off Stan Lee's reimagining of iconic DC heroes, presenting his unique takes on Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash as envisioned by a legendary Marvel creator. Featuring collaborations with top artists like Jim Lee, John Byrne, and Joe Kubert, the volume offers a fresh, alternate-universe spin on classic characters. It collects the first four one-shot issues from the 2001-2002 Just Imagine series.
In "Grounded by Day? Then Fly by Night!", Stan Lee teams with Jim Lee to launch a bold, mythic tale where Maria Mendoza, a woman thrust into chaos after her father Steve Roper and others are killed by the ruthless landlord Guitez, discovers she's heir to a forgotten legacy. Armed with the ancient staff of Manco Capac and awakened to godlike power, she must confront Guitez's demonic ambitions in a battle that reshapes her destiny. The story unfolds with visceral energy, brought to life by Jim Lee’s dynamic art and Scott Williams’ sharp inks, while Stuart Immonen’s striking cover captures the clash of mortal and mythic forces.
