Holy art change Batman! I knew this was coming because I saw the Twitter drama a couple of years ago, but this is such a drastic change, I was very shocked.

Aesthetically, I prefer the first two volumes art style. However, this new art didn't detract too much from the story, and I was able to re-immerse myself into the story pretty well. What I'm still having trouble with is the decision around the writing and what to add into each volume.

The reader got a little more background on one of the characters, unfortunately, I think it was to the detriment of the story. It felt like there was growth with that character from volume 1 to 2 that completely backtracked in this one. Maybe volume 4 will bring it back around. But who knows?

Not as good as the first two volumes. It became a lot darker and lacked the irreverant humour that so caught me in the first volume. The art style is good but I did feel that the original artist had done a more effective job of communicating the characters and the back story was a little too confusing in this one, in complete contrast to the masterful way that it was conveyed in volume 2. I'm still excited to follow the rest of the series, but this one didn't quite grab me the same way.
