After just two volumes, I’m starting to think that there’s a very real case to be made that this is one of the best series DC has ever put out. Moore and company are striking consistent, impressive balance between pulpy genre and sweeping, gorgeously illustrated poetry of theme and subject. The “Rite of Spring” alone is enough to rank this amongst the best comics I’ve ever read, and that’s just one part of a larger story that’s just as intimately romantic as it is cosmically spectacular. I’m so enamored with this.
