3 stars until the end...and then insta extra star because of the cliffhanger/ending.

The story:

So, I think I'm finally starting to understand the time traveling element of the story, so quite a bit of the mystery and past mysteries are coming together, the story is starting the make sense, well kind of. There's still a lot of unanswered aspects that I'm extremely curious about, and by keeping those secrets and adding in more, I'm still interested. I am happy that it feels like it's starting to make sense though, because there is such a thing as too much mystery. With no payout, I probably wouldn't keep reading these.

The characters:

Hunter is finally getting some action, and I'm loving where I think his character is going. He's definitely got some hero elements in a dorky sort of way. I'm rooting for him to stay alive and be a bigger part of the story than he has been.

The art:

Felt a little sloppy in this volume. I'm not sure if it has been like this in the past ones and I just noticed now, but there were some issues with characters not looking the same panel to panel, and it just caused me a little disconnect.


Overall, still really liking where this story is going, and I'm still awaiting the Big Bad.

Also, I still don't know why the students are at the school (other than having gifts (is it just their intelligence, or are they going to end up being superheroes? No freaking clue.))? And I don't know why the Headmaster wants them all together. Seems dangerous as hell, because none of these students seem stable.
