Okay, I'm a fan of this book's current format that has a new creative team arriving on the title for every arc, and I also enjoy the idea that most of the stories thus far have been standalone issues, that deliver a complete story in a single issue. The problem this month is that the story isn't done when Paul Pope rolls the final credits.
