Another really strong entry in a really good series. I keep waiting for it to hit the highs I’ve occasionally seen it heralded for, and they haven’t come, but it’s a testament to how solid and commitment the writing and art—even when it’s not Chechetto, although his work remains the highlight—that I’m still as into it as I am. Every time I pick up the next volume I’m reminded why I keep coming back. The plotting is still mostly fine, in my opinion, with some good themes (that still don’t double-down on themselves the way I want) to back it up. It’s ultimately all about the character dynamics, anyway, which Zdarsky handles so well that they all feel tactile and genuine in ways a lot of superhero stuff doesn’t.
