I feel like way too many new problems arise and so little gets answered lol still a long way to go so i don't think i'll be getting my answers any time soon...
In this volume, I enjoyed Dana's POV a lot more.

I personally loved this page.

That my cat chose the "Gathering Of Waters" volume to be the one she knocked ito the toilet is probably not some sort of sign. Some things are just coincidence.

Consistency is still the driving force of this story.

It doesn't feel like a story being written as it came out in issues or trades, it feels like someone took a completed story and serialized it. No aside goes unexamined.

Every piece of the story feels relevant and intriguing. I regret not reding this series sooner.

Pieces are starting to fall into place about what is actually happening. Kind of. And, as usual with these kinds of stories, the "monsters" are scary, but the humans are starting to cause more problems than the revivers.

This one was all over the place, but I will likely continue the story...
