I cannot imagine reading this series monthly in single issue form. I fly through these pages so fast that I need to know I've got an entire story arc ahead of me, otherwise it would just be too disappointing to put it down. Lemire's art dances between sweet and gritty, touching and violent. The world gets creepier and more surreal as the issues go by, and I am on the edge of my seat looking forward to delving deeper into the mysteries that only seem to get more complex. I've been burnt by mystery stories that seemed to know where they were going before (LOST), but this one genuinely seems to. I just wish the paperbacks came out faster.
