  1. I’m kinda with you, although I’d give the writing more like a 3 or 3.5.

    Compared to other installments of the series, this was almost boring. Like you say, various parts seemed like inferior re-do’s of sequences that happened in previous volumes. I like Envy Adams’ character, but, man, based on this volume you’d think she was the third most important character in the series or something. Envy contributed so little to the story, yet she was there ALL THE TIME in this. I wanted more Kim, or even more Wallace or Steven or anybody. Worst of all, I felt that Ramona and particularly her relationship with Scott seemed really lacking in this volume. It HAD been so interesting and complex, but here all of a sudden we just have to accept that their love is infinitely awesome BECAUSE O’MALLEY’S SCRIPT SAYS SO. Instead of 50 pages of them fighting Gideon, maybe a few could have been used to develop their relationship to the next level? Silent weirdo scenes of them "in her head" don’t count as actual development.

    All that said, I still liked this! I still had a really good time! But I’d rank Vol 6 as one of the two or three worst volumes. This sucks because Vols 3-5 were all 5/5s. in my eyes.
