A lot of times some of the books I read piss me off, insult my intelligence and sometimes bore the $#!+ out of me. (I read too many Xbooks, obviously) And some of the titles you have to follow religiously just to have a jist of what's going on story wise. (As to be expected). This book is the exception to the rule, the last few issues containing "gnarly " self contained stories that don't suck. Mr. Ellis proves himself a competent writer (unlike myself) by getting alot of story into a minimal amount of pages and leaves you wanting more. ( Did I mention the art also kicks @$$?) Its a shame he's leaving this title. It's books like this that renew my faith in this medium.
