Notes:
(1) In general, this succeeds in sections focused on madcap action. It's less successful attempting deep philosophy and introspection.
- I think a lot of it comes down to letting art do the heavy lifting versus trying to layer on meaning through words—and by "layer" I mean caking it on with a brick trowel.
- The story only meaningfully advances through action scenes.

Notes:
(1) It doesn't take long before this dives head-first into being a fantasy realm cat-and-mouse adventure.
- Which is fine in a very "Back to the Future, Part II" sort of way, but I think this would read a lot better as the second half of a single volume.
- By itself, you don't really have a mundane reality here to juxtapose against all the chaos energy and weirdness.

Notes:
(1) The new arc's out. So, as usual, I'm reading the latest trade as a refresher.
- One of the more ingenious things about this series is how the four sisters are each named after a season, and hence I remember them all clearly and, more importantly, their individual personalities.
- Comparably, while I broadly recall the plot, I've no clue where we are in the story.
