Incredible world building, but the chaos of the plot kept losing me. Would 1000% play a dnd game in here though

The art is beautiful but I have no idea what's going on. I hope that there are some sort of annotations available for when I inevitably read it again.

Wanted to read this prior to watching Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey and I do think this is one of the most beautifully illustrated works I've ever read and an expansive, rich universe years before milestones like The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen or The Sandman would further the medium. BUT, there are growing pains. The book is often too tense for its own good and can be hard to follow. It's worth really taking the time to chip away at it for a while like I did rather than crush it in a session or two. Focus in and just let it wash over you.
