AuthorCullen Bunn
ISBN1616559004
Evil twin!
Yeah, it's been done to death, but it's still a fun trope.



Ok, so this was one of the many times when irony kicked me in my tits. Just as soon as I gave up on the library ever finding their missing copy of this volume (it had been in book limbo for 3 or 4 months), and decided to go...

Here is my full series review for volumes 1-6.

The big "reveal" for the series came in volume 5 and it was supremely not what I expected. Volume 6 continues down that path of "not what I expected" EXCEPT that it fully delivered on the one thing I knew would happen and that would promptly destroy...

AuthorGarth Ennis
