I have always been something of a devil’s advocate and even though Final Crisis with its higher dimensionality and gods made flesh metaphysics managed to paint a picture of Darkseid that seemed truly horrifying there was still something in me that was drawn to this character. This affinity for the maligned and rejected means also I am one of those few people who was and is willing to give the New 52 the benefit of the doubt.
Although I had a passing knowledge of much of the DC universe I found the idea of an accessible reboot at the very least intriguing.

(coryo reviewed this complete compendium of fiction by H. P. Lovecraft in three parts, grouped thematically into "The Fantastic," "The Short Horror," and "The Long Horror." Here is his review of "The Fantastic."--Tu)
1/3 - The Fantastic
Alright team, here we go. Barnes & Noble, bottom shelf, huge tome of a book with purple cosmic geometry for a cover design. Great big letters: H.P. Lovecraft. This is what I had been waiting for. I had long wanted exactly this: something in which I could easily approach the entire library of a man who has influenced so complete a volume of everything I love and find myself interested in. Did it disappoint?
1098 pages of stories, long and short, essays, introductions, notes, drafts. Anything that big is bound to disappoint in part (*harhar*), but the man didn't effectively originate (or at least concretize) an entirely unique and novel genre without producing an overall phenomenal output.
