The series follows Orion as he finally slays Darkseid and takes over Apokolips, trying to free it from tyranny....and things don't go according to plan.

    I just got the Scott Snyder Batman omnibus 1 and 2 and the Jeph Loeb Batman Omni. I’m about a quarter of the way through Scott Snyders 1st volume so I got probably at least a few months of reading to go. I like to enjoy my comics for the most part in the morning with my coffee before any video games or screen time. You really get into it so well when it’s the first hit of dopamine entertainment to light up your 🧠 instead of instant flashing crazy colors and loud sounds.

    Great overview of some really interesting looking books. Of the selection, I think I'll have to get Batman The Knight and also finally check out Invincible (in compendium format, as well, money and shelf space). So many can't be wrong about this series, right? Love the channel and I look forward to more in the new year!
    My top reads of the year:
    1) Seven to Eternity, Rick Remender , Jerome Opena
    2) Palestine, Joe Sacco
    3) Captain America White, Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
    4) It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, Zoe Thorogood
    5) People of the Indus, Nikhil Gulati and Jonathan Kenoyer
    All the best, Kam.

Cap White is divisive for many, and it had that ridiculously long production schedule, but I have a soft spot for it. Like the other Loeb/Sale Marvel coloured projects, it's a very personal tale and for me at least, has bags of heart.
