  There are some great moments within this book, and a wonderfully heartfelt ending that showcases one of the things that makes this series so great. It's crazy and zany, sure, but it also has heart. Read Full Review

  The art from Alberto Ponticelli does a lot to bring Lemire’s story to life.

Ponticelli has a great eye for action and movement as well some nice panel layouts. Sadly, #9 is Jeff Lemire’s end run as he has jumped over to Justice League Dark. Let’s hope the future scribe manages to keep the joy, humanity and general weirdness of the series alive. Read Full Review

This issue opens up our lead character and leaves you caring. Read Full Review
