Notes:
(1) Seems like Millar could only get four issues out of Tommy Lee Edwards, the last two are done by Matthew Dow Smith.
- A big downgrade, in my opinion, but I guess with the show already on the air they needed this comic released on schedule.
(2) There seems to be another time jump. Now it's set in 2051.
- I expect lots of mirroring and variations on familiar scenes.

Notes:
(1) Well, the finale ended things on a high note, relatively speaking.
- Best issue of the series, but still awfully flawed and messy.
(2) Best part of the whole series is the twist with Barney.
- Though, the more you look at it, the more skeevy it gets.
(3) Love that they actually used the old "Superman and Clark Kent are never seen in the same room together" trope.

Notes:
(1) I don't mind digital art in general. But too blatantly digital and it just takes me out of the moment.
(2) This has turned into the plot of "The Magic Order."
(3) I do enjoy myself some self-reference and mirroring, though I'd prefer it if they left it implied and didn't just state it matter-of-factly.
- Broken marriages here all seem to have the same root cause.

Notes:
(1) My big problem with this is I don't care about any of the characters. It's focused so much on trying to tell a sprawling epic that we don't really get to know anyone.
- Barney and Ellen having trouble conceiving is the lone exception.
(2) Ancient aliens, huh? Okay.
- Presuming Millarworld is one shared universe, I wonder if this has anything to do with "Empress"?

Notes:
(1) Well, this was a chore to get through. There's no real action outside of the opening sequence, and the plot's just real unfocused and all over the place.
(2) This could really use a family tree. I can guess most people, but I have no idea if Ellen is Barney's wife or Gabriella's sister.
- Apparently, Jason married Neutrino. Isn't she like 15 years older than him?
