I read and reviewed each of the five comics collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. Within those records, it's something of an anomaly. I usually average out the individual ratings for the whole, which would set this at just above four stars, but the last issue of The Rat was so affecting that I feel as if the collection deserves its five stars. It really sticks the landing, is what I'm saying, and the story, combined with the spectacular artwork, means I absolutely cannot wait for the next volume of this series to be published.
