Morrison is shaping all of DC in these books. ( ) Grant Morrison confuses me once again. It's also possible that because I only read the "core" issues, and a couple of the spinoffs that I missed some key information. I also don't have a lot of knowledge about DC characters other than Justice League and some others. But really this seemed overly philosophical and then sometimes just plain silly (like those 3 animal superheroes that showed up at the end, but then didn't do anything, other that look really dumb). It was dark and cool, but I would definitely suggest reading all the major comic lines involved with it at the time, because the main/core issues seem like an abridgement of the story.
It's certainly not anyone involved's best work, nor even Morrison's best superhero work (His Seven Soldiers cycle is much, much more successful, although the Mister Miracle arc pretty much belongs at the opening of this story). But, at the same time, there's enough of interest, and enough raw ambition and unfulfilled potential, here that I can't help but feel as if it's something approaching a (at times severly) flawed masterpiece. It's a story, and a collection, that will entertain, inspire, frustrate and potentially even move you, and for that alone, I find myself loving it, even if it's not what it could have - and should have - been.
