Pre-Animal Man, post-Watchmen, this saga of postmodern superheroes, occult Nazis, the Cthulhu Mythos, '80s British politics and wacky geometry will be more of the same by the time smart-arse comic nerds dig it out of the archives, but there's only a finite amount of the authentic stuff out there, so we should savour it.
