I find myself more and more endeared with the series as the months pass. It's has steadily drummed up internal hype and paid it off consistently, and I'm more than ready to pick up where we left off this issue next month, like a good serialized story wants me to. Read Full Review
Daniele Di Nicuolo delivers some beautifully stylized imagery to this issue. There is a beautiful and brilliant melding of manga style art and it perfectly captures the energy and tone of the story. Read Full Review

story well written, captivating, fun and well drawned.
10/10
Story is picking up!!!
Still light, still fun, still fleshing out characters and building out the mythology in parallel with the action (and there's a lot of action).
The ride continues to be enjoyable, but I have to wonder where Taylor is going with this. The story thus far is:
1. We have a character in Caspar that is a forbidden love child of two of the Holder/Keepers of these seven secrets.
2. We have at least one organization that wants the secrets.
3. We have precious little backstory.
4. We have had a lot of character development for Caspar (and well presented), but little forward story development IMHO.
Just seems like there's a lot more that could be done, so now it remains to be seen if Taylor does i more
Still just fine!
I want to like this but it's forever teetering on the edge of mediocrity.
