In his odd compulsion to combine as many odd and unrelated conspiracy and magical concepts into one story, Morrison develops a peculiar flaw. It made me recall a a humorous article I read some time ago about how ridiculous sci fi explanations seem when placed in a normal situation. Morrison's magical world ends up feeling like another terribly complex sci fi story where all the characters walk around discussing the marvel of what's going on around them in unnatural detail.

I'll be spreading my critiques throughout the series I guess, that's enough for this one.

Really liked this - exciting and weird in all the right ways.

Pretty great, though I thought it had a little trouble wrapping up. The climax was confusingly staged and seemed to have lower stakes than earlier episodes. And while I am generally in favor of switching up art styles for dramatic effect, it happened so often and seemingly without purpose in the end that it only served to exacerbate the confusion. Like a lot of Grant Morrison, this was clearly brilliant but a little too dense and scattered to fully enjoy.
