review 1: This was a thin book, both in terms of size and development. It didn't help that I didn't remember much from the last installment, so I felt like I was playing catch-up. I do look forward to being able to go back and read the series through, once it's completed.In the past I never minded the vignettes. I felt they added character and personality to a sort of standard story. And some of them were rather lush, in either fantasy or horror.This installment didn't have much horror, which is ok, but I also felt, for the first time, that the side stories were more filler - detracting from the story instead of adding to it. True, we still do get little snippets of character information through them, but I felt very removed from the characters, as a whole, in this collection.A... morelso, the revelations weren't that revealing. Are we meant to be surprised by the unmasking at the end? I was more surprised about the truth about Harry, but only barely.The art is still good, for the most part, and I will definitely continue with the series, but this arc seemed kind of ho-hum. The revelations were needlessly drawn out for no pay-off, and the filler stories were mostly meh.
review 2: Things are getting more and more intriguing! There were a few rough spots...stories that, as far as I could tell, didn't seem to connect to anything that was happening within the main plot line, even in the very loose way that the little one-off stories usually do. But even with those interruptions, a lot happens in this volume, and it seems like we're really starting to make some headway into who the main players are and where things are leading. This is definitely one of my very favorite comic series these days. less
