Holy camoly. The art is GORGEOUS.
Apparently loads of folks are familiar the beautiful art of Alex Ross, but this was my first experience with it. I could have looked at this all day. I kept interrupting my reading to show my husband some of the stunning images because I couldn't keep it to myself.
The story is...just starting. It was a slow build up and a lot of characters but not a ton of story just yet. I'll definitely be continuing on to the next volume to see where this goes.
Side note on one thing I personally appreciated:
I know a fair amount of DC characters but am not a DC expert by any stretch of the imagination - hence why I'm trying to read more and learn. Sometimes it feels impossible to know where to start because some of these characters have been around for 80+ years. This can lead to a lot of confusion when you start a series because it may not be (and likely is not) starting from the character's very beginning. Even though this had a lot of characters (including some I didn't know), it was rarely confusing because there were little backstory snippets at the beginning, throughout, and at the end. I appreciated this as a bit of a novice, and I don't think it would have been too annoying for a seasoned DC'er to read either.
^That said, anyone who has advice on where to start on some of these, I'd love to hear that advice!
