Well, here's hoping the second volume can mend some of the issues with the first. The fast pacing of the first five issues seemed a bad choice for the complexity of the story being told. I have no idea what limits their are to the powers the fourth horseman, Death, possesses. There are suggestions throughout that he can be killed, with makes for an obvious paradox left completely unexplained. I'd rather know more about the individual characters' pasts, personal agendas, and abilities than clumsily revisiting them later in the story arc. Others seem to suggest this picks up in later issues, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now. I am enjoying the art, however, but the art alone can't carry the story.
