Something new - just not very good.
I like that DC is trying something new with the Fate character, but in the intro to the character we learn that New York floods and Khalid find Fate’s helmet. It takes 6 issues to tell the same story in the main comic.
Something more interesting really should have happened.

This was a pleasant surprise. The story was interesting and linked to Egyptuan mythology, my favorite. There was al Assad o and little nod to the original Dr Fate. While the art style is not my favorite it works well here.

Amazing how all the stories I want to read ran so short. UGH CURSE YOU DC COMICS!

The first six issues are more or less saved by Sonny Liew's art and Lee Loughridge's colors. There are at least a couple of moments in the story where Khalid seems posed to jump into action, but page-jumps to an entirely different scene acting like the world wasn't resting on his shoulders two seconds ago - no thought bubble exposition, no nothing. Which is a shame, because a fresh start for the Helmet of Fate and charms of Khalid's family (including Egyptian parents) should add up to DC's equivalent of Ms. Marvel. And yet I can feel the corners cut in this story that otherwise has a lot of cool concepts going for it. A fun experiment, but one that I hope gets its act straight as it continues.

It probably doesn't help that I jumped in at the near-end of an arc, but that felt really sappy. Also, like very much a knockoff of Ms. Marvel.
