I'm probably somewhat alone here, but has anyone else been reading this? I don't hear much talk about it around the forum-- but considering the issues are only released like every 8+ months, I guess that's to be expected.
Anyway, I have to say that there are very few series' that I have enjoyed this much. The plot, artwork, and coloring have been consistently stellar-- and if you're a fan of the Jack Kirby art style, you'll appreciate this series even more. That being said, this saga will end at issue #37, which means there is only one issue left... And I don't know how they can possibly top the last few issues (which were particularly spectacular) but I am confident that the finale issue will be a fitting end to an excellent series.
I'm curious to hear other peoples' thoughts...

it is good enough that even after i DL'd the series, i actually purchased the trades... and i haven't bought a comic in years(ever since I discovered downloading), so that should tell you how i feel about the series.
...i'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy it.

Adam Archer (the golden fella who doesn't look like a Galactus analogue) is who's narrating throughout that battle. Given the fact that he is/was just a normal human being who inherited vast cosmic powers, the verbiage he uses is perfectly fitting(for him.)

One year and almost two months, and I'm finally done. Very interesting read. I don't even know how best to describe it. Kind of like a throwback golden/silver age super space cheese mixed with like a new-age abstract drug-fueled characters/dialogue.
And from what I understand the 37th and final issue should be out soon....

The 72-page finale is supposed to be released in November: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?...le&id=47537
This will mean it has taken eight f*cking years to finish 37 issues. Absolutely staggering.
Either way, I cannot wait for the final issue. My guess is that it will be an epic conclusion to an epic story. Aside from the massive delays, Casey hasn't disappointed me yet with this project.

I'm really hoping issue 37 is going to shed some more light on Freidrich Nickelhead and that butterfly. I'm still not very clear on what happened there.
Edit: And Lucky, and the wtf the Cosmic Fetus Collective is in the grand scheme of things
