I do not know what is going on. If ever there was a book with a dense enough story that it could justify coming out every two weeks, it is this one. But no, it comes out every two months. I would have to reread every issue, every month, to keep all of these ideas in my head. I love the art, I love the design and the imaginative layouts. I respect what it’s trying to do and I can honestly say that I have never read a Marvel Comic like this before. But. It’s crazy. And it needs to slow down and explain things before tossing more historical figures at us.
This is either going to be a great story or a disaster.
My Score: 7.8

I really think I’d like this book a lot more if I could figure out what was going on.

So they’re taking the Lost approach of storytelling where you continually pile on a seemingly impossible amount of mystery up top, leaving the audience unsure of whether or not any of it will ever make sense.
I loved Lost.
My Score: 8.6
