    Default Camelot 3000

    This was one of DC's first attempts to get into the direct sales market.



    It is nearly forgotten now, but at the time was very experimental from the paper that was used to the talent.

    I read the deluxe hardcover a few years ago and really enjoyed it. It's held up pretty well.

    The thing about it was that it took a year to run and it didn't really have a climax like other books. I think of this book like I think of the Watchmen.... it is a book that had great potential that was never quite reached.

    Lol. I liked Camelot 3000...but that analogy would never have occcurred to me.

    I’m not seeing how Watchmen could have sold better, got better critical reviews, or come to a more satisfying story ending...where the untapped potential was.

    I read (most of) it recently. And while the art is really good, and I love space operas, there was one part of the story that was a bit too contrived and caused me to lose interest.
    Nevertheless, it was chock full of great ideas.

    Bingo - and it had some over the top pretenses.
