is on page 74 of 136
Notes:
(1) I sort of regret not skim-reading the other parts since I know I'm missing nuance.
- Though, it reads fine on its own. A broad-strokes knowledge of the plot hitherto is perfectly sufficient.
(2) I like how each of the issues so far have had their own distinct flavor.
- A trait they do share, however, is how characters are all super-inclined to theatrical oratory.

Notes:
(1) The last two issues are almost all fast-paced, chaotic action.
- At the expense of clarity, though. Which isn't ideal... you know, in any case, let alone to end a years-long story arc.
- I don't know about you, but I'm awfully tired of authors expecting me to do all the heavy lifting in figuring out what happened and what things mean.
- Just spell it out for me!

Notes:
(1) This has been on my to-do list for a long time. Frankly, there's been no reason to pick it up since I've already read and reviewed the whole thing in singles.
- Also, my tradition of reading the preceding trade to refresh my memory before a new run of singles doesn't apply, since this series alternates its arcs, and this book finishes the Volumes 1, 3, 5 trilogy.
