I know this is nothing revelatory to say of the first book in a 50-something volume series, but it felt like it was just the start of a bigger story, without a lot of resolution. Which is fine, and I guess I expected.

Having NO prior knowledge of the Warhammer 40k universe, I felt like a lot was going over my head. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't like the story, I just felt that a lot of it was referencing things the significance of which I wasn't aware of.

I've read that the first 3-5 stories should be read together as one arc. They're cheap and short enough that I will probably get the second one at some point soon.

@ben_hr it's such a good series! I would also HIGHLY recommend Saga, which Vaughn went on to do afterwards. I would actually rate Saga as the one of, if not the, best comic series I've ever read.

Okay, that was excellent (as usual) but now I'm so unsure as to what's going to happen! What I thought was going to be the end/final climax of the entire series happened about two-thirds of the way through this compendium... And there's still two more to go! Where are we going with this!? So much unknown! So exciting!

I might regret this... Friends of mine rave about this series. But even they caution against starting it, given that it's over 50 books long, not including the expanded stories...

I got halfway through this a while ago, but have just picked it up again. It's great. Right up my alley. Really enjoying it (again).

Interesting start. I'm interested to see where it goes.
