Great art, some exciting moments and a good base for a big exciting story. Hopeful the series delivers on the set-up!

What if the entire world’s economy was controlled by a select group of individuals with their own agenda? And what if these people also dabbled in some weird cult things?
Wonderful Hickman weirdness makes a delightful counterpart for a healthy dollop of conspiracy theory. That’s about all I can say at this time. I loved it, even though I’m not quite sure what happened. It just makes me want to read it again and get my hands on the next volume.

Capital is a snake eating it’s own tail, and Wall Street literally made a deal with the devil, to trade blood for money and power. I’m not sure I understand it yet but I’m certainly interested.

Okay, so... that was a ride. I'm not gonna lie, I was heavily confused for the beginning portion of this graphic novel but the further I read, the more complex and intricately layered the book became which made it digestible and made the slow pace thrilling. I'm always going to be down for stories with anti-capitalist themes that explore the moral failings of billionaires/the deadly nature of greed. It reminded me of season 1 of Kollok1991 on YouTube with all of the Mammon talk and flesh payments (highly recommend Kollok btw, it's such a great TTRPG).

Really interested in seeing where this is going. Hickman is great in how he writes I'd even recommend to non-comic readers most of his stuff.

eh. seems like JH had one cool idea and then..... did nothing with it. (unless you count the charts, which are way less useful than in other works of his.)
