I don’t know what I can say about this series that I haven’t before. It’s still brutal and brilliant with some of the best art and world building I’ve ever seen. 

We finally got to see what happened at Constantine! This team does satisfying, slow reveals so well. Every volume of this series has been brutal, but as this one shows in realtime an active battle/siege of a city, it might be the most brutal so far. 

Kippa continues to be one of my all-time favorite characters in any medium. & of course, “never assume you know everything about a cat.”
