3.5 Stars. It’s an incredible premise and I’m enjoying what I am reading. But I found it to be a really complicated mythos, having only read Hickman’s Marvel work, this is more difficult than I expected. Since there is nothing that he’s building on, you really are just along for the ride. I’m gonna let him cook though and see where this going. I may reevaluate my rating of this volume once I finish the story.

It's not a bad story. I just don't think it's for me.

Not for everyone but pretty good, and the ambition of the story allows for "pretty good" to be a fine enough start. I'm into it. I like the art, the lore, it's a cool place to be, and the story is vast. Hickman and Dragotta, if you continue to hit this level of satisfaction as the story progresses, I will be psyched.

The art is great and the colors and linework are bold. The actual copy of the hardcover book is a great edition. The storyline takes a little to sink into and the hook is towards the end that can keep someone interested. I bought book 1 and 2 together and read both which I think helped a lot. I feel if you just read the first issue or first volume there's not that much to go on and the story can get really confusing with a lot of questions asked but not many answered.
