i'm buying it, but i'm not reading it until the last issue is out- because i know i'll have to re-read the series again for this issue and the next (if the time frame is the same). 

i am not getting anna mercury and gravel because of this type of schedule - i'll wait for the trades.

This has been, by far, my favorite book of the last few years. I hate that it only has come out sporadically; but i completely understand, given Brian Wood's schedule and Ryan Kelly's belly pain (? i need to double-check his blog about that).

This book was supposed to be short one-shots; but has turned into a long character piece - beautifully written, expertly drawn and highly ghighly recommended. if you can't find the back issues, the trade is due out this summer. DO IT! If you like stories and pictures and you enjoy having emotions, read this series.

The avatar books that ellis is putting out are very strong. This and Black Summer are the only ones I'm buying in floppies - because of budget...  BUT, the online Freakangels (www.freakangels.com) is proving to be a great read - free six pages on fridays. good times.

If you have the money and can find the back issues, pick it up... If you'd rather wait for the trade, you won't be disappointed - as i eluded to above, it is a dense story that may read better in trade.

let's get this over with! It's easier for me to drop a title when it's a limited. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed this... every time I've had to re-read it to remember what happened before... 

The art's been good. The story has been better. Warren Ellis has some great ideas. I love the way he will research the parts of another-wise standard sci-fi story (in this case, the Tibetan-monk-ghosty-alter-ego-conjured-body-thing-crap i'll have to re-read it) and develops them so that there are many levels of getting involved in the story-telling. He could have easily left that element unexplored and assumed. Speaking of sleepless - where's my coffee.
