This issue seemed a lot more solid to me than the first. More seemed to “happen” than in the first one, and I appreciated that, but there still seemed to be a lot of empty advancing of the plot where there could have been humor. Still, to be better than the first issue was all I wanted from this issue, and it delivered. Hopefully it will really “hit its stride” on the next one, which I was very much looking forward to by the end.

(The small backup story was really out of place)
