Too much flashback, not enough forward motion or pointers so you know where you are on the timeline. A disappointment after the wonder of the third volume.

GAH! It just stopped. Are there more than 4 volumes? There were only 4 at the library. Trust me, I'll be thrilled if there's more story...I just need to have it now. Actually, there has to be more story. It can't end just that way. There are way too many questions that need answers. Ugh! How will I sleep now?

I really liked these two volumes because we get some very interesting background story on 355, Dr. Mann, and Alter that really adds to each of their characters. I'm glad Vaughan chose to add that in there.

I don't think I've read a single one of these books that *doesn't* use the word 'retarded'
Also, women are quite determined that men must rule them...and of course, nuns would fall nicely into that category, right? Apparently Vaughan hasn't met many nuns. Nothing worse than Republicans & Catholics, of course
Yorrick makes it into the tabloids, we find out more about 355's history & childhood, the gang finally makes it to Japan, and Dr. Mann thinks she can take on a ninja just 'cause she took some fencing lessons in college.
