I dunno, man. They literally end 3 with an old man telling his grandson “the story of the shepherd.” The quality of the writing wasn’t ideal but with the weird dream sequences and all it seemed heavy in 3
Which would have made sense from 1’s end, 2 was fluffer, great fluffer mind you, but fluffer none the less. 3 was diplomatic simulator and constantly trying to “white savior” everything with no real consequences to your actions, there was no life ending despair feel. Cerebus was a failure of writing and imagination in its entirety. Shepherd during the “Ascendancy” ending was so convoluted and hamfisted because they didn’t reiterate the themes from 1 throughout the series.
