I forgot how scary the first book is! Read the series as a teenager. The art is beautiful, the paneling and lettering are so creative. A lot of the DC world references def went over my head as a kid.

coming into this mostly blind, i think its a solid introduction into the world of the endless. but it’s a set up, and it definitely feels like one. 

i think it dragged needlessly in certain points, but i was very satisfied with how it ended. the issue when death was introduced was easily my favorite.
