I tried to read HSBC before, but I could not get past the early stuff. Blah, blah, blah, I don't care Ultimate Dirk, shut up. Do I skip to the part when the HSCU took over? I feel like I'm missing out, but I already had Original Dirk Strider shatter my sense of self and I really don't need to recreate fight club a second time.
The new art looks so damn cool and I hear the writing is just as good...but that first bit man...

Main characters die and go through major character development, the entire cast grows up and raise kids, start wars, get into messy family drama and john struggles with existential shit while dirk & caliope battle for control over the narrative, all of that is continued directly into Beyond Canon. you are missing a giant piece of the story without the epilogues. IMO.
cant get past the meat or candy choice. making the choice feels like stepping into adulthood, leaving the fun of my teen years behind (okay my teen years havent been fun but you get the point.) meat or candy feels like wire mother vs cloth mother. nessecity versus comfort. responsibility vs recreation. Becoming who you need to be vs becoming what you want to be.
Man im not cut out for adulthood yet can i go back to when i was 14 and obsessively watching old fandom videos and being cringe without all the horrible stuff. Cause brother im not ready for this. Sorry for get all deep and sappy its 12:34 am and my meds dont get refilled until tomorrow.
