This book keeps getting better. I may just be saying that because it's fitting within comic conventions a bit more. The opening pages serve the same function of those one-page recaps in Marvel comics from the late 1990s, reminding you who all the characters are, and most of the plot that's happened. Kait's policework on the mystery at the center of the plot is interesting, though it's frustrating that it isn't resolved by the end of the book. The cliffhanger at the end is probably also reminiscent of floppy comics from the late 90s and other eras. I guess I'll just have to go online to see how it ends.
