Courtney Crumrin Vol. 2: The Coven of Mystics by Ted Naifeh

4.0

In which Courtney learns that the darkness which they might fight comes not from the Night Things so much as from humanity, and that while Uncle A is the badassesiest of all badasses, he is, alas, not indomitable against said darkness.

Courtney grows a bit - perhaps a bit more cynical, if that's possible, but also a bit wiser - and there's a fair bit of pathos involved.

And it's nice, though a bit sad, to see Aloysius' more fragile side.

The parents are mostly absent in this installment, which is a blessing. While I know they're meant to be clueless and annoying, they are really annoying and their presence grates, so it was nice that they were hardly around for this installment.

Also, as I said with the last of these special editions, I am loving the colorized versions of these stories. It adds so much more depth to the art, and to the world. ♥
