A bit weird to see Grandmaster watching movie in a theatre.
Anyway, another solid issue. Only thing that I didn't like was talking motherbox.

Ingenious, King is using the Helmet of Fate as a talking bookend
Another great issue, really enjoying this and seeing all the pieces move on the board. Kinda wish it would come together a little more quickly, but that's a minor nitpick for me because the stories within the story are all awesome.
One small-ish scene I found intriguing was the discussion about the different culture's methods of grieving/remembering/commemorating their dead.
Got a chuckle out of the Wonder Woman convo since he's gonna be writing it soon.
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
I think the editor will be forced to keep King's worst tendencies at bay.
But I don't think he will lack any other place to expres himself.

I remember 1975 and 1st Issue Special. I can only imagine what I would have thought if someone told me that in almost 50 years, there'd be a comic where Warlord drives a convertible into Lady Cop's cop car. Seriously, this comic should NOT be taken seriously. Go with it and enjoy the craziness.

When you have that as the main cover then it is hard to be super serious about this thing. Anyway, latest issue had some cool moments.

I loved the Apokolips scene with Highfather, Orion, and Darkseid.

I'm not a fan of most of King's use of grawlixes (using &^%* to represent swearing), but in this instance with a mid 1970's book being the inspiration, it is ^%($## fitting.
And King has deservedly gotten praise for his New Gods/Fourth World stuff. He treats Highfather and Darkseid like the concepts they are and not just superhero story foes.
