Still really interesting, but I do tend to get bored when books do these 'flash back to get the story of everyone' as a bridge and a pause in the action. But, well written, well drawn, well plotted, so no real complaint.

The wheels are coming off here issue by issue, page by page and dear god I wish this had a better writer than this plodder

While I did not dislike the backstories, I feel placing them in this volume detracts from the pace and overall experience of the stories. It was good to see where they came from and what their motivations were before the aliens and WWIII.

I actually kind of liked this one; I always enjoy assembling the team stories. But why in the hell is this volume 5 of 6? At this point I don't care about the backstory, especially since some of these folks are dead already. With how volume 4 ended, it's a real insult to readers to give them a volume of meaningless backstory that should have come in volume 2 or 3 (if at all). You could honestly skip this one entirely and it would not change your understanding of the series in any way. What a waste.
