FINALLY, the family themes I had been waiting for really surfaced in this volume! Each sibling wrestles with the failures and abuses in their past, the question of their future, and how they relate to one another. But it's kind of too little too late. The book is still packed, more than ever, with whacky supervillains and the silliest of sci-fi (enough to give The Quantum Realm a run for its money). There is some intrigue as to what Hargreeves was really up to for all these years. And the second set of supers is an exciting cliffhanger! But there are a lot of gorey shootouts and explosions between background characters that take up WAY more space than the siblings' interactions, or the unraveling of the Hargreeves mystery. It's like how the Marvel universe takes 20 movies to Thanos. Sure, the crumbs are there. But it's a loooot of silly space lasers before you get to the heart-wrenching parts.
