Some of the best artwork I've seen in a comic.
Damn. You'd think there would be a major slump after following a run as iconic as Fraction and Aja's, but this arc keeps the same fun tone while introducing some flashbacks with amazing watercolor art. Definitely worth sticking with the title.
A little more all over the place than the previous volume but I freaking love Kate Bishop so having such a focus on her (and a possible future her) makes up for it.
Jason Aaron and Jason Latour continue to build a world that is layered, violent, and irresistible
SPOILERS AHEAD:
A group of individualists leave a millennia old Empire to start their own thing that focuses more on knowledge and democracy. Things go pretty well for over 200 years until a mutant, though some see him as a clown, illogically rises to power by manipulating the people's emotions and tears the whole system down.
Science Fiction stories can warn us of dark, possible futures. If only we had paid more attention to this one.

This conclusion to the Foundation trilogy just did not grip me as much as I would have liked. This series isn't known for its incredibly well developed characters, but I always felt like I had someone to root for. This book, especially the second half, was missing a character that I could follow through all the philosophy and science. Arkady, a teenage girl who gets wrapped up in the conflict of Foundations, was close but wasn't used enough.
Some cool world building and what-if scenarios in this, and Hawkeye is forever a fun guy. But the dialogue is incredibly lackluster, and the constant twist of the story that "this world and the people in it suck" gets old quick. Hyper violent with a lack of character is never a good mix. So glad that the film Logan got so right what a lot of this story gets so wrong.
