3.0

Very close to four stars, but not quite strong enough. This is just a crazy, unique take on Batman and Superman that deserves a Sentra for originality. I’m not totally sure that it all works or makes sense, but it’s an interesting take on a multiverse story that’s more enjoyable than I initially thought it would be. I doubt I’ll read this again, but I’m not sad that I read it.

Like an old school Silver Age comic with characters leaping from alternate worlds and encountering new realities. Absolutely Love it.

Definitely some "out of the box" ideas (lol). It was okay, I think the best story was the little one with calender man at the end.

It was interesting. The format was new for me. The parallel stories combining and then developing onto a metastory. I had a great deal of fun reading this.

A genuinely fun story that goes in unexpected directions and plays with some fun ideas and character beats, hampered by deeply middling art that never quite lands the book's rapidly changing tone.
