adventurous
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I am rating this 3 star purely based on the annual story , coz the whole superhuman trafficking story arc was boring as hell .
The whole trafficking storyline started with a superhero dating app , which was fun idea , and followed up with so many things that I kept losing focus , add to that Seeley keeps writing all those philosophical diatribe , about religion , politics and people searching for their place in life . Meh , it's irritating to say the least .
Honestly at one point I even stopped reading the dialogues , also they are still playing the "Jessica is scared of gathering" schtick when clearly the character has moved leaps and bounds ahead of those problems .
In fact I take issue with portrayal of Jessica . There was absolutely no need for creating a romantic angle for her , especially with Simon , and I'd even bite it if it was done right , the story suggests she falls for him simply because of an dating app . Ugh .
The annual story was actually decent , with the whole lost lantern bit and how people shouldn't be judgemental and stuff , but it wasn't so good as to make me want to rate it any higher than a 3 star .
Oh and the whole issue art was nothing spectacular , it was decent in most panels but I felt the expressions of the characters didn't match well to the story or the dialogue being delivered

This wasn’t the strongest volume. It felt rushed and lacked some of the character development the others had. There is a plot about the main characters “liking” each other, but they dont come back to it and feels forced and a throw away.
