It was good, but not great. Superman in Smallville, in Atlantis, and in Metropolis; and the girls he falls in love with in each place. Also, they make Batman out to be far less intelligent than what he actually is.

Content warning Minor character backgrounds - the backgrounds are minor, the characters are pretty major...
I just got to the flashback where Kamala meets Bruno in second grade, and he smells because he hasn't had a bath because he was just removed from his mother, and then Kamala's parents insist on paying his fees because they find out his grandparents are struggling to make ends meet with suddenly having two young grandkids to raise, and now I'm a wreck thankyouverymuch! 😭

I started reading this series when it first came out. I loved it then and I love it now, after all the TV series and movies as well. She is such a great character and her stories are so good.
If your looking for a good hero comic series to read, I would strongly encourage you to consider Ms. Marvel.

I feel like large sections of this could be replaced with "there was a large battle that resulted in this" and nothing would be lost.
Honestly, the sheer number of characters who get named, and have detailed backstories explained, for the sole purpose of immediately dying is, frankly, tiring.
"So princely Agripholus was the son of Argontus, and he was raised in the fertile lands of Haetus, known for their wooly sheep and swift-footed boys, with a score of donkeys and five score of steeds. And his shining armour reflected brightly, and the silver clasps were gifts from noble Pontiphus, who claimed them from the battle of Tiphus. Anyway, he's dead. Agamemnon speared him above the left nipple." Repeat ad nauseum.
