A little better than the previous two volumes but still my least favorite from Morrison. The later work has a few other characters and the artists for that material are also significantly better. It's still just empty behind the simplistic good versus evil fantasy BS that it really is.

I found Vol. 3 a little more interesting than Vol. 2. The introduction of some new characters with compelling origin stories helped. I feel like I can't give a full impression of this project until I finish reading Vol. 4 and see the entire plan laid out.

Alright...
Finally, this series comes with a volume that I can really say that I at least liked with no reservations.
Mister Miracle's story develops here with a reality vs. perception motif that I can always get behind. Grant Morrison did enough with the character here to make me want to read New Gods. (No, I'm not converting to a new religion. Jack Kirby's New Gods from the 1970's were the first team that Mister Miracle was a part of.)
The Bulleteer story explores sexual fantasy in a way that uniquely entwines that concept with mortality. I don't know how else to explain it. Read it.
The first chapter of the Frankenstein story brings us to a young boy (not so) affectionately called "Uglyhead". He's a character that we begin to feel sorry for (especially us geeks), but then see that it's absolutely necessary for Frankenstein to show up and put the beat down on.
Bottom line: This third volume (of four) of Seven Soldiers of Victory had more interesting characters, more appealing and intriguing stories and FEELS more like Grant Morrison... There's never anything wrong with that.

Welp, I didn't like that sudden turn of events. Misty's origins are quite intriguing and is reminsicent of Rumplestiltskin mashed together with Snow White's storyline. I found the references interesting and hilarious as well. Zatanna is really smart which is reflected in her dialogues and I find her more endearing because of it. However, I think that this issue felt too much for me or idk, kind of confusing?
