I almost landed on a 2 out of 5 but the art and last issue did help.

After the explosive and well recived Cates run, Al Ewing and Ram V came on board. Both extremely solid writers working together with Hitch's art, what can go wrong?

Well, for starters, making Dylan kind of a meh character about half way through.

Dylan was a standout in Cates run. He was brave, kind hearted, and really helped push Eddie to become a better man. I would have loved to see more of that. Except Eddie does make a choice to leave at the end while Dylan stays behind on earth. And this picks up pretty soon after with a actually solid opening of Dylan on the run after his dad telling him to meet him somewhere despite his dad just being in the room a few minutes prior. Gives a nice "scary" moment that makes you question who is who.

But then the next few issues feel like drone on without much interest. Dylan being hunted, captured, hunted, fight. But none of it is hitting emotionally. Eddie is in some symbiot safe haven of some sort with a big bad pulling the strings...meh.

Overall it isn't horrible and the art is solid but I just can't help but feel it's missing the heart that made the last run so good. Let's see if they can turn it around in volume 2.
