I'm grateful to be exposed to this part of history of which I was unaware, and the art of many pages and individual panels can be stunning, but a meandering, choppy and jumbled narrative overstuffed with characters with variable alliances, allegiances and betrayals became too much of a chore to follow. The end text material was much more straightforward and educational. (
