(I also don't understand the love for Opal City. Again, I sense the amount of effort Robinson is putting into establishing the City as its own character, as a city that could rival Gotham or Metropolis in its uniqueness, but I legit felt none of that. And found it annoying that he kept trying to hit me over the head with how "special" this inanimate city was.)
Haven't read that. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
