Used to follow the book in it's initial years. but the story never seemed to go anywhere. got it for the art but then that luster fades. If McFarlane could have sustained a good long term relationship with a good writer the book could have been legendary and a staple of independent comics. there were a few stints with Alan Moor and Neil Gaiman but they weren't sustained and followed through.
I think it eventually went somewhere, and Armageddon took place.
But in the end like all comic stories, there's nowhere to go. Batman can kill Joker but Joker comes back, and Superman well we all saw it devolve into silver age nonsense. The stories given time devolve into repetitive cycles, modern writers either depower the characters or give them godlike powers(like I think already several characters have remade the universe, or become reality warping gods.), any case doesn't take long for things to go back to normal from the nonsense.
Similar happens to civilizations on planets overtime they either are destroyed, or the flow of information leads to nonsensical states(which I very much look forward too.). You have seen that the internet itself has led to an interesting evolution of society, and it is not just the internet but the vast number of stories that are being fed into the minds of humans. Before only a few stories came upon them, now an unending flood is evolving, and even the writers themselves of these stories are recombining ideas, to the point where resonance is occurring amongst diverse stories from all throughout the world.
The moral teachings of old are retold in the myths of new, and the logic of human relations and the human moral code becomes clearer to see, as all the stories agree on it.
The nature of the infinite is to be but infinite repetition of the finite. The immortal can live the lives of all mortals, but eventually he will run out of mortal lives to live, and repeat, for human brains are finite structures with a finite number of states.
