just wanna get ahead here and say you may get. quite a few biased opinions.

That being said in general I do recommend it. I'm a big post-canon defender and I've found that there is some like made up version of the Epilogues that morphed out of a nightmare game of telephone that haunts a lot of people who would enjoy it if they gave it a chance. So if you are willing to throw everything youve heard (good or bad honestly!) out the door and approach it with fresh eyes and an open mind you might surprise yourself in how much you enjoy it. BUT its not for everyone and if it doesnt align with your tastes and you bounce off thats fine too, at least you gave it a fair shot!

now for hs2 it does kinda require at least-AT LEAST-the basic knowledge of where the characters ended up and what the major plot beats are for both universes. I say "kinda" because you can technically just read it if you want but you'd probably be a little bit confused. but its fun! i like it a lot! theres some occasional inconsistencies just by nature of it changing hands so many times but its hard to knock it for that when the og comic written by one person also has inconsistencies. what story doesnt for that matter?

so uh yeah. at least try it out
