Vaughan is laying a lot of groundwork here, and most of it works. Did I wish we had more of certain characters experiencing or talking about certain emotions and experiences? Yes, I did, but that's not Vaughan's style, and I know we're going to get there eventually, so I can be patient. I still struggled to find my footing in this new chapter, though, because it felt like the story had moved on from previous events when I hadn't yet (which I acknowledge is a side-effect of having just caught up on the series, like, six months ago).
Thankfully, the foundation that's developed here is stellar, and seeing Vaughan and Staples reset the table for the next half of their story is equal parts exciting, infuriating, and terrifying. I can't wait to see all the creative new ways they'll break my heart.
