This series consistently proves itself to be great. Each volume really builds well off of the previous ones. In vol. 4 we get a lot more back story, which helps explain some connections and historic events, and we also see some events unfold that will definitely propel the series forward in a really interesting way. I love the complexity because it's so much more satisfying when things come together and you start to understand the alliances and driving forces of each character's actions. Also in this volume we got some auxiliary material (i.e. timelines, maps, and encyclopedia entries) that expand the world as well as provide more context in a unique and helpful way. Overall, one of the best, coolest and most beautiful (I mean, the art is stunning) comic series I've read. Can't wait for vol. 5 to come out! 4 stars
Rating: 3.5 stars
It took awhile for me to get my hands on volume 4 and meanwhile my interest somewhat diminished. This volume finally has some profile pages that give basic description of all countries involved and the timeline overview that I wish I had got in volume 1.
I like Death and his two companions the best and we have seen them the least in this volume. It also fills like a filler with the updates on what's happening with all parties but without actual stuff happening. Except for Beast. I feel sorry for the little guy and that Balloon is creeping me out.

The growth of graphic novels such as these continues to astound me! The art and the story developments are amazing and I couldn't be more excited to dive into it more.
This collection kicks off a multi-faction war due to political meltdown, so I was expecting really big events in rapid-fire succession, but it's more like a huge stew continuing to simmer hotter and hotter.
SO good! Beautifully illustrated, complex, profound, and fun. Looking forward to reading more!
adventurous
medium-paced
Another fairly solid arc. Lots of backstory on the nations at play and I'm loving all the tidbits we get of the Endless Nation.
The story of Babylon is also one that's giving the story a lot of depth. Very interested to see where that goes

Things are really starting to piece together and while this graphic novel series is not for everyone I continue to enjoy each volume and am looking forward to more in the future.

This was good to have breakdown of all the major players and kinda explain why the world is screwed up.
I really love the art and tech, the political intrigue is driving me nuts.
