Just like the one before I really liked this graphic novel. I love the humor in it. For exemple when Scott says to Kim to read the book sometimes. Making references like that to the graphic novel was very intelligent. I love them and I could read them over and over again.

I really can't rate these independently. Each volume is so linked. I just have two things to say about this volume, both spoilers.

Spoiler

I didn't care for Lucas Lee being defeated by being tricked into a skateboarding stunt that goes wrong. Scott isn't a Odysseus-type character, he's Achilles.

I liked how Knives and Ramona fight. In fact think they should have kept their rivalry going instead of Knives becoming part of the crew.

This will serve as my review for all the rest of the books in the series. Except #6, which isn't out yet. I really enjoyed the series overall. O'Malley captures a certain segment of the hipster 20-something population with humor and love and just the right hint of seriousness. I really like how he weaves in manga and video game references in a way that's fun and clever but not off-putting.
