I started to have some hope for this series after Vol. 2, but it never really gets off the ground. I felt like none of the heroes were fully realized, and the end is something of a confusing morass. Parts of it were extremely entertaining, but I've come to expect much more from Grant Morrison.

Very satisfying conclusion to the whole project. Morrison writes at his best when he is able to engage directly with postmodern critiques of time.

I really enjoyed this series. I love how all the little pieces fit together - it's a cool story, and the characters are all likeable. In fact, I was surprised at how much I came to care about some of them in only four issues each. The plot is engaging, and some of the dialogue is really funny.
I think a lot of people have a problem with Grant Morrison's writing that's similar to my problem with Quentin Tarantino films. There's a self-awareness of the medium in each of their work, and that self-awareness can lead to a commentary - and an underlying attitude, maybe - that's annoying. It's only annoying me in Tarantino's case, though. Morrison's writing is intelligent and engaging and I like it. But I can see why it's not for everybody.
The artwork is as good as the writing - the artists' work is very distinct, but it still all fits together. And J.H. Williams III's art is just superb. I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at his work.

Grant Morrison deftly and mysteriously wraps up the saga of the Seven Soldiers. While this wasn't my favorite series of stories by the author, it did have some great moments.
