"Strong, exciting story, shocking reveals. And solid character work, which I have to say these have been really lacking.

Man, Grant Morrison is so good when he is good. And his ideas are always weird and interesting. But. I think he is often mediocre and sometimes outright sucky at storytelling fundamentals. Nobody wants to read pages of clunky old-fashioned exposition, I understand. But Jesus, this is hard to follow. Too often, I don't understand what's going on until halfway though a scene. And if you don't know all the characters names and powers when the book starts, odds are you you won't get any help.
Anyway, this one is supposed to be his Days of Future Past deal, and it isn't terrible but it is very dense. And deeply hard to invest in. And every now and then the art is really crappy. ...less
