The slow pace after the City Fall arc from last volume might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm glad they took the time to show how everyone reacted and coped with the fallout of last volume. Prominent characters get fleshed out like Alopex, the Fugitoid, and Krang (which was surprisingly good). The annual issue is a slog to read through and the low point of the series so far, but the worldbuilding continues to be interesting and the introduction of Rat King promises big things to come.
