sfletcher26's review against another edition

I'm enjoying this series but this volume did tend to jump around a bit at the start and finish. A great solid middle act though. It's going to be interesting seeing where Gillen takes this.

I think we actually got some character development of the superhumans in this one!

I do feel it's unfair to review each volume of this individually, especially since I read the equivalent of volumes 2-5 over a weekend in single issue format, and now find it a little difficult to distinguish which bits happened when. This is an episodic 60+ issue series, of which half is currently extant, and the rest is forthcoming in Uber: Invasion. As such, there is a natural ebb and flow of which issues work better than other issues. I can imagine how these issues could work in collected form, but it simply isn't written as a series of graphic novels, so there's a real danger of picking up this volume individually at some point and being underwhelmed by it. That's certainly something I've had happen with manga series.
Taken as a whole, though, even though half of it isn't done yet (and there is perhaps an argument for waiting until the saga is complete), this series is intelligent, horrific, and feel necessary. This is a long rambly reasoning of why I've given a "liked it" rating to an installment of what is on the whole a "really liked it" book of the sort you want to spread the gospel about, as it were.
