The Story: I continue to be impressed with the dark town of this series and the development of the characters. There are a lot of mysteries at play in this series and I enjoy how Fleecs and Seeley are slowly revealing them as you get to know the character and his struggles. There are some fun elements in the story and I love how the story goes from the series main tale to the elevated memories that reveal the details that we don’t see.
The Art: The art is fantastic and I love the tone and style of both stories. The gritty reality of the main story is perfect and the heightened style of the memories complement each other well.
