The art is good in this. And sadly that's pretty much the only good thing I can say about it.
It's an unmoving, incomprehensible mess. The charm of Kirby's New Gods dialogue from the 70s has been replaced by pretentious babbling. Whatever story Kirby was trying to tell here got buried under the terrible dialogue.
It's a really disappointing end to his Fourth World Saga. I know there were problems behind the scenes but I think DC forcing him to change his story is the least of this book's problems. It's just not really readable unless you have the patience to sort through and try to figure out what he's trying to say, which I do not.
