3.5
So basically this volume is the backstory of how Erica became part of the monster hunter group of St. George in the Slaughter family, which is obviously important; however, it was not tied well into the other volumes. It felt like a full stand alone volume compared to the other 3 and especially since the thing at Archers Peak was killed and that story seemed to be finished.
It was important to go through this backstory and it was a good backstory, well told and thorough. It was just out of place and did not tie into the other 3 volume and Erica was the only character that was in the previous issues. I did like how they explained how the organization worked and it was well thought out. The story was just not well organized.
