The 1990s remain a divisive period in comic book history, introducing edgy antiheroes like Spawn and Azrael alongside cataclysmic events for Batman and Superman. A decade known for its ultra-violence, gritty art styles, and speculator market, it ramped up events, crossovers, and new character introductions. As great as some of its best stories are, there’s no denying that some titles just haven’t aged that well.The ’90s had its ups and downs, but it deserves much of the criticism that comes its way for escalating the speculator’s and collector’s market through endless events. A decade that saw Marvel and DC chasing edgy-for-edgy-sake stories and pale imitations of Image series, a lot went wrong. Some of the most promising classics wound up dull, comically absurd, and haven’t aged with the audience.War of the Gods is a great-looking comic book with a fantastic roster of characters, but there’s simply too much going on. If read as a simple artistic showcase of characters, readers might get some enjoyment out of the series. However, when looking at pages crammed with maximum panels, crowded teams, and a lot lost in exposition, the series reads as a missed opportunity. Had Perez been given more room to tell his story or allowed the likes of Starlin or Wolfman to co-write, it might have been much better.
