While I was frustrated at first that the previous story arc had been dropped without resolution, reading these brash one-shots has actually been enjoyable. A continuing plot has the chance to become dull and drag on longer than it should, but that is not a possible concern here.

In this volume there are two seperate stories, one is meant to fit into Marvel continuity while the other seems to exist purely on its own. However, as a whole this volume fits together since it is more intense in terms of plot and tone than the previous.

The antagonists in the first story are what allow it to be interesting, while the concept for the second is original and memorable, and even with its oddity I somewhat wish it had expanded beyond three issues.
