A wonderful continuation in an eerie, wise and perpetually gorgeous series. I'm glad I reread previous volumes to refresh myself of all the threads and arching messages, and to properly appreciate them.

I had to read this book twice to really feel like I could review it it’s such a cool comic I love all of the imagery and the commentary it makes on noir and society in general. I love the visual motif of obsession with butterflies because butterflies generally represent hope, and that mislead is soooo good I love it so much. The butterflies swarm the characters, swarm them with hope, making them obsessed. I also love the nature of obsession’s reaper as self-defeating. It’s quite cool how the reaper’s spell their own destruction. This definitely makes me think of the noir genre and the last bit at the end is fascinating. Forgiveness as a tool that can only be useful and truly exist in the face or in opposition of treachery. It’s so hard to think about forgiving something treacherous as not absolving them. I like how forgiveness frees the person, but not the one who hurt them. Or I guess maybe it does in a way. It doesn’t free them, but it opens a door, you can’t free someone without them wanting it too. Really cool stuff to think about as a whole. Also the line, “there’s no defeating shadows, there’s only walking towards the light”. gosh i love that. also ginny makes me sad, there’s two instances right after each other saying that rest and forgiveness are not “what she’s for” but i also see that ginny escapes the traditional bounds of her own identity as a reaper a bit in helping the guy (albeit for absolution of a sort). cool characters.

Yes. Sometimes a bit too self-serious (the fact that my copy had some culture professor's analysis at the end didn't help) but they kind of earned it, so...

As creepy western, I have found this series annoying. But as Early Hollywood Noir crossed with creepy Western, this actually works better. Also this volume moves faster, and we have a clearer view of the reapers as individuals. And the bunny stories are slightly less annoying. The art is still cool, and this is all way too incoherent and indistinct. But better.
