Could happily have read more in this series but I am pleased with how it ended. Certainly doors left open to continue it at a later date...🙏🏻
The Kents' background and actions are even more awesome this volume. Beast Boy turning out to be the dragon from the cover, also awesome.
The character melding continues to be top notch: Etrigan with Ra's al Ghul, so he's REALLY the demon's head. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Alfred equaling the Martian Manhunter is particularly poignant. Across the multiverse the death of an Alfred will always hurt, but this one was exquisitely heart-rending.
The multiple villain reveals, yes please, and the misinterpretation of prophecy, a reliable way to heighten the messiness of any situation.
Harley trying to be the voice of reason on the brink of war is a new experience,

Robotswithpersonality 3/? but it's got a very 'offring psychological insight from Arkham Asylum' vibe; she's been a medley of contradictions for a long time.
Constantine's role and narration added to the tone of the story, though I'm glad it didn't end like stories he stars in usually do.
I particularly enjoy where Clark and Bruce are at the end of this tale, you can see the echo of their more conventional versions in the choices made, but perhaps the blood brother

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 bond introduced makes it a less contentious connection than the canon often delivers.
Loved the mini-tale at the end introducing a different start for the Robins.
Should have said this for the first volume as well, I am no way surprised I love the writing as much as the art, considering Tom Taylor is also the guy writing my very favourite graphic novels, the latest Nightwing run.

Thought process verbatim:
Holy shit, YES!
Did anyone else know they needed to see Batman in knight armour riding a fire-breathing dragon? I didn't know. How did I not know?!
*Looks at cover credit*
Oh, my god, it's Dan Mora, AGAIN?!

I think I've developed a bit of a Tom Taylor allergy
