I found it slow going and didn't enjoy the execution (the premise was nifty as hell!) nearly as much as ANANSI BOYS, which uses the same mythos.<br /><br />I purchased OVERTURE but want to complete the 90s series before I crack it. For some reason, graphics have never grabbed me like mere prose has (my wallet is thankful for this!), so I keep buying the ones I find interesting: SANDMAN, WATCHMEN, Whedon's BUFFY Seasons 9+, Joe Hill's LOCKE & KEY - and drifting back to novels before finishing any. If my TBR wasn't so full of really great-looking novels, I'd devote 2017 to doing just that. Instead, I'll most likely try something I backed off from this year, reading a bit of graphics every day alongside my novel picks. Can't hurt to try, just already hard to juggle reading and writing alongside real life.

I would say its more interesting but slower and less fun. Instead try Good Omens. Gaiman and Terry Pratchet wrote it together. Its basically a dark comedy telling the story of Armageddon.
