Honestly, I'm pretty confident that you'll probably like it a lot. It's a surprisingly fun and touching book that's a relatively easy to read for newcomers (after years of reading/watching the DCU, I still don't really know the backstories of most of the characters I was introduced to in 52, but I think I "get" who and what they're about and felt sorry when bad stuff happened to them and would have liked to read more about many of them*, which is a mark of quality storytelling, IMHO), with lots of extra little cool things for long-time fans and re-readers as well. The offer was on the off-chance it turned out to flop for you, which is a low possibility that could still happen (and if it does, at least you'll know that your tastes don't fit with my recommendations in the future, which should become helpful anti-recommendations
).
Anyway, I think I should remind people that the following bundles are expiring soon, if you haven't already decided whether or not to pick them up:
The Dynamite Comic-Con Omnibus Bundle is good for another 3 days or so.
Humble Gamer Comics Bundle presented by Dark Horse Books added another artbook and an interesting-looking based-on-Japanese-mythology comic to the more-than-average tier, and expires Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time.
* Especially the ones who had bad stuff happen to them which precluded their ever appearing again as they previously were short of a retcon, darnit!
