The stakes are raised considerably in this collection of issues 19 through 24 of the original comic.
I am so glad I'm reading them in this form instead of having to wait a month for the next issue. The drawback is that some of the double page spreads don't have the same impact. Whereas the comics open flat, there's always the crease in the centre of a book with a solid spine.
The art continues to impress with the highly original use of layout to advance the storytelling.
The writing continues to impress. The tension has really wracked up considerably in this volume. Things are starting to make more sense but that doesn't lessen any of the impact. It's pretty obvious why this won so many awards while it was out.
It's easily on a par with my previous favourite series Locke and Key.
