I was pretty disappointed with the volume, specially the ending pages/ending of certain storylines. In my opinion the only endings that didn’t feel rushed were the Steel/Everyman and Question subplots. Magnus forgives his teacher for no good reason, the space subplot (aka the animal man, star fire and Adam strange) sort of just ends, with no real climax or satisfying conclusion. The character just kind of leave space and that’s it, I was specially disappointed that Animal Man being stranded in space was resolved way too quickly. Next, the finale to the Black Adam one just happened way too quickly, so when it’s mentioned that people are calling it WW3 you don’t believe it. And, lastly the booster gold plot line felt like a mess, and what it was ultimately about felt like it came out of nowhere
