Is it fair to rate this a little lower because it's the last volume and leaves a lot of threads unresolved? I still liked it but it felt like it was gearing up for something that hasn't been published yet. It's a shame Jack Staff didn't sell enough to continue. It's much more inventive and satisfying than corporate cape comics.

And the fourth and, so far, final volume of Jack Staff (pleaselettherebeafifthpleaselettherebeafifth), and it all kicks off with the usual falling apart of time and space and reality itself and even the very page layouts. Mixed up realities, imaginary friends from the realm of dreams, John Smith robbing shops, new heroes and villains, all told with the customary dash, humour and brilliance one comes to expect from a Paul Grist comic. Barring the arrival of volume five, I'll be off now to order Mud Man and hope against hope that it finds an audience to keep it going.
