I don't know...the writing in places is so cliched and awkward, and yet the story is still compelling enough to draw you in. Robinson had some sort of magic with this one.

It's kind of amusing reading Ted's comments to Jack, given what is revealed near the end of the comic run.

This really was magic in a bottle.
It's hard to emphasize how interesting and different this was.
This is one of the comics I always point to when people think they know what comics in the 90s were like but only think that meant Image's output.

The 90s was not a desolate wasteland in comics; rampant speculation led to some crazy practices/sales/nonsense...but some GREAT comics were also being created.

I mean, the second half of Gaiman's Sandman run was being published in the 90s. The Death of Superman got unprecedented mainstream media interest in a comics event. Clark Kent and Lois Lane got married, another huge change in the status quo. And Moore's Promethea and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen both started in '99. A lot happened in the 90s that wasn't pouches and shoulderpads.
