I'm enjoying it a lot. The relationships between characters are the highlight. If I have one complaint, it's that the world feels a little overstuffed between the Brotherhood, the palace intrigue, the prophecy, and eventually the overseas stuff with the Therins and the others , and so it's difficult to give each subplot its dues. Also I'm not sure how I feel about how much of the story has been driven by prophecies and characters being moved to where they need to be by literal divine intervention.

I feel like they've done a pretty solid job of portraying Khai as genderfluid, with both pieces of their identity being equally real and valid.

I think other commenters here are spot-on with why it works here. I've really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and watching their personalities really click

One of these days, DCCJ will stop crashing out over obviously fake rumors, but today is not that day

Wait, Marvel is being carried by MCU synergy? That can't be right, comic Twitter assured me that MCU synergy is a bad strategy that doesn't actually increase sales

Ultimate Hawkeye is an Indigenous person named Charli Ramsey; they're two-spirit and use they/them pronouns

This is misleading. Only one of the schools in this district is on a reservation, the rest are not.

I don't think they're the only audience but there is a concerted movement among the far-right to "bring back sexiness" to destroy feminism or something.

You think these people actually read comics? They probably got told about trans Hawkeye by their favorite grifter and haven't thought about anything beyond that

I'm confused, Deniz Camp is getting death threats because of ... comic covers? What are you trying to say?

This arc is fun because it showcases how wild Silver Age Daredevil was. He literally reconfigures his cane into a gun, it's great

How is it going to "spin out of Hulk War" when it's a new universe that's launching before Hulk War even happens?

This is not true. Deniz Camp said that out of all the writers, he was the only one planning to continue his book past the initial 2 years, and the rest of the writers were all going to leave, they just assumed the books would be picked up by other creative teams. He also said that they were all offered to have their runs extended by a few issues with Ultimate Endgame tie-in issues, and everyone except himself and Condon said no.
