I'll be honest I couldn't even finish this.

I'm so glad Scott Snyder is stepping away from most of DC for awhile. I'm eager to get back to his American Vampire series when the newest volume drops. I'm eager to see what else he can create indie wise. I'm even excited to see if he does do more DC. But he needs a break. He needs to be away from Batman. He just needs to stop trying these big, over the top, grant morrison style stories.

Scott Snyder can be very talented. His early Batman work, American Vampire, Wytches, and so on prove this. So I don't know why he won't return to that. There's glimmers of it here or there but otherwise this book is everything I dislike in comics. Big explosive over the top storyline with millions of characters and a storyline so stupid it makes no sense in the end, with trying to be Meta-commentary but failing, on top of exposition so thick it might aswell have the words just cover the entire page instead of showing the little art it does.

Anyway, enough of my rant. I hate this storyline. The art is good as always but even that can't save this. I hope these two very talented writer/artist combo go back to what made their earlier stuff so special.
