    <body><![CDATA[I'm finding myself sadly deficient on some of these latter-day &quot;classics&quot; I keep recommending to others but haven't read myself.  So in an effort to feel less hypocritical, I'm diving in.<br/><br/>The idea behind this series is solid and Cassaday's art is amazing as always.  The done-in-one format is perfect for the anything-goes way the plot is structured.  But Ellis crams in too much information for a self-contained issue to feel very fulfilling.  There is so much exposition and so many big ideas crammed into each story, the characters aren't given the room to act.<br/><br/>I'm not really a fan of any Wildstorm stuff, so seeing a member of The Authority pop up so early in the run was a bit of a turn-off.  But I plan to keep reading.  There is enough here I enjoyed and I imagine it'll only get stranger and more compelling the further I go.]]></body>
