Lemire's character-driven examination of superhero myths gains some more complex worldbuilding as multiversal conflict comes crashing into the lives of the few superheroes still standing.

I like how much this superhero world builds out on its own terms, as if they're all legacy characters that your father and grandfather would've enjoyed, yet dissected and reassembled in a way that is so clearly a modern evaluation of Golden/Silver/Bronze Age comic books, all while being just a wonderfully curious story about a city in trouble with its heroes in deeper kinds of trouble.
