I got around to reading #6 last night, it was quite good. The characters in the series are a bit cliche / stereotypical, but the stories are fun and the art is so good. SO good. Albuquerque is a total star. I will probably buy the book as long as he draws it.

Not really digging this new arc that much. As I said in my last post, the characters are kinda cliched and just dull. I miss King's writing as I thought he really improved with each issue. His writing was really raw and hardcore and the book seems to have lost a bit since he left. Albuquerque's art was a lot rougher this issue and looked a tad rushed but still great.
Did anybody buy the hardcover of the first arc, and if so, how is it printed? Is the whole Snyder story collected together, and then whole King story together (so they are separated), or is it just like it appeared in the original issues? I hope they're separated as I think it'd read a lot better that way.

I think i'm not as into this arc as the last one because I love the 20's culture but it's still great imo.
And I do have to agree that Albuquerque's art definitely took a dip in this issue. Hoping that he'll pick it back up when 8 comes around.

Ugh. Annoying. Whenever I get around to buying that (I will probably wait for the softcover) I'll probably read each story at once, having to flip through to continue. Obviously not a huge deal but it would have been so easy to separate the stories, just seems like laziness on the part of whoever produced the collected edition. Originally Posted by Ned McDodd

It's not that bad though. It almost complements the reading the way they intertwine. Originally Posted by El Sombrero

i agree, it's ok. In books and movies you also have sometimes different stories unfolding parallel. Originally Posted by Enjoypolydor
