This was just not something I ever cared about, and eventually started speed reading. The first little arc being rooted to books of magic was stuff I already knew about, though afterward his making a deal with an ostensible future self to save him in the moment, at the cost of his soul, was interesting—it just felt like it was spinning it’s wheels afterward. Same old John, same old. The art was great, though. Won’t bother with the second volume.
