Customer Reviews
It was enthusiastically recommended to me by a friend but it just didn’t appeal to me. I finished the first trade and didn’t feel the need to read the next one. Maybe it’s the blatant pro-animal/pro-vegetarian slant (which I have nothing against, but it was just too blatant to even be what could be called good writing) or the breaking of the fourth-wall (which in it as itself was a pretty original move by Morrison, but I felt it didn’t match the tone of the rest of the plots) and the overall trade just seemed too unfocused. I know that’s one of the things the series was known for, jumping around, not finishing plot seeds until later, etc; it just didn’t work for me.
