Volume 1 was such a strong start but this just didn't feel the same. May read next volume if there is another.

What the hell happened to the doctor?! His absence was glaring.
Still very good, but I really missed Rossmo's amazing artwork from Vol 1. I hate to say it was a disappointment but I'd grown really attached to Fillmore as a character, and now I see that it was in a large part thanks to Rossmo's rendering of him. Fillmore's madness seemed a lot more present and just hardly kept from boiling over the surface in Vol 1. In this book, I was constantly aware that these were just drawings of people.
The writing is decent but I'd prefer to have more of Fillmore's voice and less voiceover.
Overall this series just made me want to get everything by Rossmo and not necessarily to follow Spencer (though I think he'd be an amazing television writer with his ear for dialogue).
