A cool concept that could have been great if handled with any sort of serious tone. Yet it's silly has dumb humor and doesn't have anything to do with black metal aside from character Aesthetics. Chalk this up as another comic book that wants to take a metal or Punk take on something that the writer knows nothing about the history or the music and can't be bothered to research it.

Don’t understand the praises here. This run started good, but became dull pretty fast.

SPOILER I am glad it’s just a dream/ alternative reality of Scott in the end, but nothing really was explained in the last issue. So Scott just keeps living in the fantasy world he created? Well doesn’t really fit his character.

SPOILER END

However I have a problem with the entire run, how the story was told. Many normally exciting things like Darkseid finally getting the Anti-life Equation was just mentioned, but never shown how he did it or the consequences. Everything was just shortly mentioned and therefore presented in the most boring way possible. This seems to be an issue of Kings writing, since he did the same thing in jokes vs. riddles. Even so he did the characters way more justice than Johns did in Darkseid War ( Johns portrayed all of them as total different characters), some portrayals were just weird like Darkseid, who was acting like a total idiot. Or Granny caring for Scott Free. You could argue, that they were acting differently, because it wasn’t their real selves, but thats no excuse for portraying Darkseid as a retarded idiot.
This story was a Mr Miracle story, but I am waiting for a year for the story to finally start. If the point was just to show, that Scott didn’t want to face reality, I don’t think 12 issues were needed for that. I expected more& more importantly an exciting plot.

The good thing was, that Scott finally got rid of this terrible beard though.

I am a big fan of the New Gods, so I don’t think it’s entirely bad, but it can’t keep up with Walter Simonson‘s, Kirby’s or Byrne‘s New Gods run. Overall I wish DC would do the New Gods more justice& stay closer to Kirby’s vision of the characters. I hope the Female Furies Mini series will be better. more

It's a disappointed ending to this series simply because it feels as if they're trying to milk it for a sequel. I feel the twist didn't do the book a lot of favors and this ending issue has emotional weight but just doesn't stick The landing. It's not bad it's just let down.

This title is getting more and more ridiculous by the issue. The characters are all incredibly unlikeable the world they live in is so over the top that their struggles are not relatabl. Once again this book is mired in bad dialogue and a glacial pace.

This is really bad. It makes every character a stereotype and yet the critics eat it up because it *dares* to address these "modern" issues. But it does so in such a one-sided and ridiculous fashion. Being outright wrong in some areas and just obnoxiously over the top in others.

This book feels as if it was written as segment's in a tv show with no pay off. This issue just kind of ends with the tiniest amount of progression.

Clay Mann's art is stunning in this book but that's about the only positive. This event in one issue and capsule it's all of the negative traits of early 2000's comic books. Mystery is not interesting and the book takes about 2 mins to read its that thin on plot.

I really enjoyed the art in the book but wow this story is just ridiculous. It comes across as over-the-top satire but the deeper you dive you realize it's not so i just don't get who this book is for.

The book is a bit pricey but I really enjoyed this first chapter. The ending was really well handled and emotional.

Weak art but Chip's script has so much heart it makes up for it.

Moon Knight is one of my all-time favorite characters but Max Bemis is run just isn't for me. I felt lost at multiple times during this issue and the Art's lack of backgrounds and detail look sloppy

Best issue of this series so far

This issue really didn't grab me as much as the critics. I find the town and characters just to over the top to really draw me in. That said it's average enough for me to give it's second issue a look in hopes it gets better.
