Get Smart by Robert Kirkman
3.0

Probably one of the slower volumes. It feels like building a lot of things, but not giving us any major moments. Things that were set up are finished, like we finally get Eve telling Mark what happened while he was gone. You also see how things are changing and how Mark's way of thinking is slowly evolving, growing, just like him.

I always have a issue with characters being the same old through their entire time on comic pages. Mark feels VERY different from how he felt back in volume 1. Bigger ideas, scope much larger, trying to figure out who he is and what he is. By the end there's a big twist, and it's actually nice to see changes in our favorite hero.

It's not a super exciting volume but good enough that we move pieces along. Plus we have some great "oh shit' moments by the end.
