This is one of those weird stories that was absolutely great, but oh, boy did it have a lot of problems.
I loved how DD's faith was both explored and critiqued. His conversation with Sister Maggie was great, feeling emotionally heavy, theologically nuanced, and overall the lighting was spectacular. Black Widow was an unexpected, but awesome addition to the story. Despite her and Matt being exes, their relationship is still great. The story with Karen was amazing and the end of her arc was heart wrenching in the best of ways. I love me pages of silent panels showing raw emotions! The villain twist was great and the usage of said villain.
However, the whole basic premise of the plot (Matt finds the anti-Christ or Messiah, unsure as to which) was just stupid. Multiple people mentioned it and he ignored them before realizing [spoilers!]. Except, this still doesn't change the stupidity of the premise. Thankfully the character work was so great. Also the Bullseye fight scene was perhaps their most boring confrontation, despite having some cool moments. While this may sound like nitpicking (which it totally is), I just think DD and Bullseye's most critical fight thus far should have lived up to the hype of ALL their previous encounters.
In short, great, but equally flawed story. You should read it so we can talk about all the juicy spoilers I avoided.
