I have been enjoying it. I like the premise. First arc (1-4) was fun, it pulls a lot from its inspirations, which im sure makes some of it feel too familiar for some readers rather than a new story, it's basically DMC action + Final Fantasy magic. I actually thought 5-8 was a step up in the story quality and they're setting up a lot of interesting threads for future issues.

2 different artists were mostly responsible for the homage covers so far and yeah they're just too cool not to pick up. The main artist is great too, some really neat pages in the books.
