This was pretty good for a larger crossover event. Not so good for people who got exposed to the New Gods through this. I enjoyed it, but nothing to write home about.

I was originally not going to read this because I have never liked the New Gods. I like Darkseid (of course) and Orion is pretty cool. Maybe Mister Miracle and Big Barda. But other than those few, I don't really care at all. I was going to completely skip over this arc. But then I saw some really cool spoilers and realized I was probably missing out on some important events, so I went around from comic shop to comic shop trying to find all 17 issues. I even had to order a few of them because they just couldn't be found anywhere. I finally got the last issue I needed yesterday and I got to reading. And it was fantastic. Not a single issue was bad. In fact, I only have one problem with this event, and that's that Larfleeze got his ring stolen in the first issue (the whole premise is that one ring of each color gets stolen, and since he has the only orange ring, that's a given), but then he's never seen or mentioned again. I may not like Larfleeze (I actually hate him), but when an event includes every color on the emotional spectrum, I expect other Lanterns to at least make passing references about him if he has to be absent. The good news, though, is that I asked Robert Venditti (the show-runner of Godhead) on Twitter about what happened to Larfleeze and he said he can't say just yet. So at least we can expect to get some closure on that soon. Oh, and one of the artists kept drawing Hal with weird lips.

But yeah, Godhead was way cool, A+

Wonderfully written and given enough room to work.

That was a journey. If you like the New Gods and crossovers that overstay their welcome, then this is for you. It had lots of good character moments and held my interest, but it was teetering on the precipice of boring. Oddly enough, Black Hand was the standout for me. Go figure.

I'm not a fan of the characterization of Highfather as a militant zealot who was one step removed from Darkseid, but otherwise, this was much better than it had any right being. The chapters focusing on Simon Baz and Guy were probably the best of the story.
