mercedes 's review for:

4.0

One of my favourite volumes thus far, containing some really exciting issues. I will say, though, that I do miss the colouring by Bill Crabtree—his pastels made the art feel really refreshing for the 2000s and I will always prefer less conventional palettes to the typical realistic shiny colour style. I think the writing of the female characters has possibly hit its lowest point in this volume, it felt very much 'I'm not like the other girls'-esque. The will-they won't-they love triangle just felt tiresome in my opinion and I don't like how differently Mark already treats Eve, who after... what? A few days? Gets multiple big, thoughtful dates, compared to Amber and Mark's burgermart and movie meetups.
