3.0

I love the idea of this, and really enjoyed the ways that Moriarty went about getting back at the upper crust, stratified social structure. However, the writing itself felt very one-note and clunky at times. I suppose because this is a first volume and it's setting up the story as a whole, everything had to be spelled out, but there were many times that I wanted more subtlety.

While the art feels limited because of the one-note story telling, it's pretty damn good.
