hm. I really liked all the characters except for Vanya and kind of went ??? at the plot. Like, I got to the end and went, "WTF?" This warrants more thinking about.

I just read it myself! Personally I like Vanya but couldn't quite stand Spaceboy and Allison. The one I most desperately want to read about next though is The Horror - he just seemed so conflicted in the flashbacks like he hated himself because he was supposed to be a monster especially the scene where he's holding one of his monsters like a baby and seems to be comforting it. But then I may be reading too much into it. I really love #5 too even if he did shoot Vanya. I also want more between The Kraken and Vanya and what happened to the other 36 babies? So many questions, I'm glad they're making more.

Hee. See, I really loved Spaceboy and Allison and the Kraken. I liked what I saw of the Horror and I'm iffier on #5, but in general, I liked them all.

And yeah, more is good :) I'm looking forward to it.

Also you're right the plot made me go ??? it just seemed a bit meandering and unfocused especially for a mini-series. It didn't bother that much because what interested me the most were the flashbacks and snippets of character development from the quotes in the front of each issue but I definitely see your point. The mini-series felt really disconnected from issue to issue, like it should have happened over a longer period of time or some of the storylines should have been trimmed.

It was very oddly paced and offbeat; I liked it, but yeah. It was kind of...weird in its pacing.
