I don't have the connection to these characters, heck I didn't know who half of them even were (King Faraday, Flagg and the Challengers of the Unknown for some examples), before reading this because they are from a time before I started reading comics. Yet it was just so enjoyable, seeing the era and world building was just so amazing. I was even startled to see how some characters I had previously disliked (Hal Jordan for one) seemed so much more interesting when really placed in the era they were created in. I'm really looking forward to seeing what else Cooke does, and am now really curious about the upcoming direct to video animated movie (which Cooke was heavily involved in) will be like.
