man, I see the praise, and I understand the complaints. Good, though.

nice nice nice....

Completed the full 21 issue story over 2 years. In my top 100 comic runs of all time now.

This middle started getting weirdly paced. The book had been perfect.

Phenomenal. However it may end, it's potentially a fantasy of 2026, and certainly one of the best I've read in a decade.

this is salve for the soul. When you get in a rhythm of reading these, and anticipating the chills and tropes, it's like eating McDonald's double. It's trash, but you eat it all the same.

okay so far.

I say this as a MASSIVE LotR fan. I watch the extended trilogy multiple times a year. This book is really, really average. Maybe the novelty of the time in which it was released, but I'm desperate to find time and energy to finish it with my 10 year old, and it's a chore for me. I'm at the point where I'm skimming pages when I read it out loud to him. You can quote me. I'm not sure if I'll ever actually read the trio

Definitely not on par with 1 and 2.

potential to be fantasy of the year.

DNF

Marvel, even when it's good, can't help but get bogged down with so much plot and weight. Half way through I was ready to be done. Still the best Fantastic Four I've read, but I've also read practically none of it. One of the best Marvel I've read in years, but I've avoid Marvel and read indie. These Marvel/DC collections feel like great treatments for a great miniseries that needed help. I'm a tourist, I guess.

nope.

About to drop this one.
