Review of DC's "Cosmic Odyssey"

I have to be honest when I say this...but this is a a very LAME NAME for a graphic novel as good as this.

So this story was written by Jim Starlin, arguably best known for writing the epic Infinity Gauntlet.
Though not a war, it definitely classifies as a grand story of survival at all costs.For Darkseid fans out there, this is the story of stories. Though surprisingly not a Justice League story, as Darkseid stories usually are, it was great nonetheless.

Basically the story is about the Anti-Life Equation. YUP. The same Anti-Life Equation that has fueled all the evil that is Darkseid. But, as always, the Anti-Life Equation is not what it seems to be... in fact, it is so much more. More evil. More powerful than could ever be imagined...

So much so, that Darkseid needs the helps of the heroes that he has altogether made his enemies of time past. He needs their help...to save the universe...or so they think.

Great writing and use of characters all-around. Classic and memorable team-ups. My personal fav aspect, is the focus of cause and effect, and the grave measure of consequences.

Highlights: Superman lets thousands die before him. Green Lantern makes one of the biggest and fatal mistakes EVER. Batman punches Orion in the face and walks away from it...that and so much more.

Glad to have this in my collection. Definitely a must read.
