5.0

This time around, we're treated to a single, long-running storyline. But, as has been the case with the previous four installments, it's uniformly excellent, and I truly believe that Eduardo Risso is only getting better and better with not just the art, but panel layout and sheer storytelling ability. And Azzarello's writing is, as usual, top notch.

There's going to be a point, I'm sure, where I'm just going to be tempted to write one of these reviews as...

Blah blah blah amazing art blah blah blah amazing story blah blah blah amazing series.

Because, quite frankly, this is a series that has me running out of superlatives to describe it.
