The Multiversity by Grant Morrison
5.0
I finished reading this comic and didn't really care for the ending: "Too meta", as stated at one point in the comic, and I wish there had been more. Then I kept thinking about it. A good entertainer can't be faulted for leaving their audience wanting more. Thinking about it some more, "too meta" is exactly what I was looking for when choosing this book. If anything, could it be my fault as a reader for thinking it was "too" meta when that's exactly what I wanted?
Overall, the beginning pulled me in and I set it aside for a few months, knowing there would be quite a proverbial ride ahead for this read. When I finally got to it, I (usually) sped through a few chapters a day. There's a map of sorts that gets pretty dense, and this is one part where I would have specifically wanted more. In any case, one can't complain about density if more would have been welcome.
The artwork compliments everything really well. All the alt covers in the back are worth checking out for anybody who likes superheroes. Admittedly, I'm the sort who likes to flip through pages when I'm told not to do so by a comic book, so they were a good distraction from outright spoiling things if my page turning got to excited.
