5.0

There's a lot of haters of this series (who confound me by continuing to read a series they apparently abhor...perhaps they just like to complain?), but I'm not one of them.

I could be wrong, with more than half the series to go, but I get a sense that it's building to something.

In the meantime, we're presented with this very good, ridiculously real storyline that we've seen over and over again. I won't spoil it, but it's frustrating in a good way—because it mirrors what we see every day.

Great writing, great art, great series.
