This was a better volume than the last. It had a lot of backstory about Coach and Boss, and how they became who they were. The history of these characters is grimy, fucked up, and interesting. Some of it is over the top, and sure I don't believe all the dialog at times, but when it hits...man does it hit. The father moment in the forest was amazing and the end result showed us who Coach is.

I think the negative comes from some of the side characters. I just can't seem to connect. I'm hoping it improves there, gives each character a voice, where I can like them or atleast understand what they are about and who they are.

Overall it's a better volume and gives us a much needed look back at our villain, if you can even consider him a fully realized villain. The ending also gets you hyped for the future.
