As an immersive arc about war, this story works really well. Fiona Staples' art is on point even if Vaughan can't make it through a volume without adding "-tard" to something. Also, the use of pig Latin was stupid and out of place. At least the Trans character's storyline wasn't about being trans this time. 

Definitely feels like a Saga now, more than 40 issues in.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any sadder, it did. So much loss and grief in this volume. The creators really meant it when they said back in volume 3 that Mister Heist hated the "kill your darlings" trope because whew some beloved characters were lost throughout this series and this volume is no exception.
