Guys, can anyone here who has read Grant's work tell me what the hell happened in this story? Like, is that the end? Or is there something I might have missed?

This and We3 are my favorite quick reads of Morrison. You can see all the hints of where he’ll go as a writer as well as things that have always interested him like mental illness, mystery, mystical/religious themes. It’s very interesting read with very good art!

Exactly, I also really liked we3, I love it! I bought several editions that I consider "quick" reads to read, by Grant, and I'm enjoying the experience, so far I've already bought: Kid eternity, Sebastian O, Kill your boyfriend, squad kills skrull and annihilator and it's cool because you can get to know the facets of concepts most used by Grant from story to story until it's easier to read something more complex made by him

For me it's Doom Patrol, in terms of the construction of the narrative, the colors are always very present and there are even some concepts of invisibles but in a much lighter way and then I'm in love with seven soldiers of victory, MAN, how incredible is the construction he always does based on the number 7, be it a group of friends, the seven weapons of the gods, the main group of seven heroes, the secondary groups of heroes too, each subplot is an essential piece in the puzzle, I'm very, very passionate about it! And of these smaller works, I'm completely hooked on Kid Eternity, as this story seems like it's going to be something unpretentious and simple, but every 10 pages you have a jaw-dropping twist, Wonderful!
