3.0
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.
