I love the colored pages in these books. There has only been a few but I still love them, nonetheless. Honestly, I don’t really know what’s going on and I kinda like it. You’re able to make up you own story instead of being told exactly what is going on. The author really takes the idea “show don’t tell” to a whole nother level.

The art of course is top-notch. I found the narrative a little slower here since maybe we are shooting for some set up before we get to the last arc. I'm nervous about how Nihei may stick the landing, but I'm very excited to see where we go with this.

Here is my chapter-by-chapter-not-a-review...

::LOG.43:: Provisional Safeguards ::003::
We‘re having a flashback!



Dhomochevsky seems to be here to stay.

::LOG.44:: Inside the Megastructure ::037::
Finally a fight scene that I followed easily, that had a great dynamic and was very well drawn.



::LOG.45:: Compound Dynamic Particles ::061::
Connecting the dots...

::LOG.46:: Temporary Access Authentication ::091::
Sorting out stuff, going places...

::LOG.47:: Infiltration ::121::
Let‘s call this the Pac-Man-Chapter...



Plenty of monsters in this one. Good action.

::LOG.48:: Impulse ::151::
::LOG.49:: Log 9 ::185::
Skocking things happening...

::LOG.50:: Distant ::215::
Colour!



Good artwork, some very nice panels.... plot? Hm. Speculative. Optional. Erratic.

::LOG.51:: Parallel Battery Storage Cluster ::245::
::LOG.52:: The One Who Calls ::275::
And we are walking again. Lots of stairs. And a very nice cityscape. Not enough of those in this volume!



::LOG.53:: Omissions ::293::
::LOG.54:: Captors ::325::
That was a pretty unsatisfactory ending.

In total very little storytelling. An almost plotless affair with very little text. World building in this volume—also not so much. This volume lives through its artwork. Mostly good, sometimes great. One more volume to come. Really wondering how this will all tie up.
