Mehso-so

While it was interesting to explore the origins of DC Comics' New Gods, this was a long read. In addition to the general tell-don't-show style of older comics, many of the original issues were oversized 52-page books. The cliffhanger left by obvious cancellation is disappointing. Some of the character designs are extremely silly. Still, the imagination on display is amazing, and there is interesting ground work laid for future DC storylines.
