The Books of Magic, Volume 5: Girl in the Box
by Peter Gross, Stuart Moore, Peter Snejbjerg, John Ney Rieber
As so closes the end of Omnibus 1 with this story of a girl in the box.
This has Tim go to America and once there he sees...Leah! You remember the succubus who was being used by that creepy dude way back? Well she's in America and started her modeling career. This leads Tim on a adventure to go visit Zatanna but Leah is with him the whole time. This leads to a hold up, mermaids, and some crazy ass trippy adventure inside the "box". At the same time Molly is basically hostage in this strange new world and she's trying to make peace with that while also missing Tim.
Another great adventure. Some stuff is overly wacky and flows weird but the characters remained grounded and interesting. Tim, Molly, and even Leah are fantastic and their fates all feel sad, even if there's hope for a future. I love them and their growth, and the art, while slightly disjointed by two artist, still holds up very well.
Another 4 out of 5 for The Books of Magic!
