Notes:
(1) The first few issues of this new arc haven't been very interesting.
- I'm not into this new character, The Crossdraw Kid. Him taking on the family superhero mantle is pretty much the narrative focus.
(2) The Claire/Connell part of this story just amounts to some housekeeping.
- Mainly, Claire getting used to having powers and Ursula learning to make super serum.

Notes:
(1) Claire and The Crossdraw Kid go on a date, which is a fine enough idea, except I just don't care.
- They have no chemistry.
(2) Harriet Tubman's on the $20 bill. That's not supposed to happen until 2026, if at all.
- Fun Fact: She was supposed to take Hamilton's place on the $10 bill, but "Hamilton" the musical became a thing and he suddenly became irreplaceable.

Notes:
(1) So, the first issue here really should have ended the previous volume.
- Seems like they did a cliffhanger for cliffhanger's sake and now have this stump appendage to start off this book.
- It makes so much sense now why the new trade paperbacks have different content listings. I just wish they'd give them different covers and subtitles to clear up any confusion.

(1) It just dawned on me that I've not read any Matt Fraction before this series. It's not really the best first impression.
- What I got from the first volume's bonus material is that there was no grand plan with this, everything's just wild ideas, an improvisational plot and cool stuff for Terry Dodson to draw. You know, that's exactly the sense you get reading it.
