Every time I read Brief Lives I suddenly remember that it's possibly my favourite of the whole series. This is a stunning volume of work. Incredible storytelling. The way the art and the words merge together is perfect. The way this arc brings together threads laid down in earlier stories and twists, setting us up for what comes next. Just perfection.
The other stories here are also good, and there are a couple of double page spreads that are just heart stoppingly beautiful.
If you have been wondering if the absolute versions are with your money, I think this volume cements that they are. Just gorgeous.
