Altogether, this book is amazing. Mann and Guice's art is absolutely top notch. Kindt's writing adapts to the changes in style throughout the book. Arreola's colors add to the blazing beauty. There is subtext all over the place. You could read this book repeatedly and continue to gain more from each read. Which is a good thing, considering how hard it will be to have to wait a month for the next issue. So start reading, and when your bleary eyes can take no more, let the pretty pictures soothe you until the next issue arrives.
