Welcome to Litsy!

As with other volumes, I could sum this up by saying it was a LOT. But whether it's exposure to the previous books in the series, or a recent read of a Sandman book, it didn't seem as violent or depressing as previous entries, but was absolutely stuffed with plot and action. Considering the next book of the deluxe collected editions is the last one, I guess that makes sense. 1/2

That's the spirit! 🥴

This is the stack I brought outside to read while I watch my kids in the sprinkler. It‘s 94 degrees today!!☀️💥

Things are getting complicated, threads are being untangled & secrets are spilling. The challenge with a series like this is always to say something without saying too much. Yorick is a great character, the secondary characters equally good. The worldbuilding is great as is the investigation of how a world once dominated by men & now devoid of them would function. A fantastic story which I will finish first thing in the morning. Must rest up.😴

All the volumes have been great - until this. This volume drags and drags. It's too focused on going into back stories on every characters - even minor characters. The writing is also not as sharp and witty as previous. Hope they have fixed all this for the final volume.

Same issues as the earlier volumes. This one bordered more on misogyny though, many words that I don't think women would use on each other on a regular basis. More what men would call women. And, even though at least three years have passed in this world, Yorick hasn't grown up at all.

Regardless, one more deluxe volume. I'm ready to wrap the series up.

The series is amazing. Brian K. Vaughan is a genius. One more deluxe volume to go.

Halfway done with the series! And here's a political gem penned in 2006...
