5.0

The scope is so big and complex, but at it's heart is a story about family -- specifically about fathers and sons. It's a story about finding family, and making that family bigger and bigger. And after two full volumes, it punched me right in the heart: "A perfect one."

I wish I could be clearer about my feelings on this run, but it's so many moments packed into so many pages. It's made me think deeply about time and aging and death. It's made me laugh and break into tears. In fact, this might be my favorite comic book run. Ever. I could easily start it all over again right now.

I do wish the collections were clearer with issue numbers or art credits. I understand Hickman controls the layout and wants it to read as an unbroken saga, but the table of contents was lacking as I tried to identify artists.
