Also just zipped through the follow up, Death of a Universe. Gruenwald's writing definitely improved; the art was solid all around, from Ryan's pencils, to the Al Williamson's masterful inks, and very pleasant colors by Paul Becton. The shock! gasp! of multiple characters dying quite nasty deaths was a bit tasteless IMO, but I did enjoy the universal threat bringing the various characters together. It was a good follow up to the limited series and in many ways, more tightly plotted and a better read than the main twelve issues.
