I’m finally recognizing some previous characters in this series. Aside from the first, this was the only issue that felt like it had a consistent plot as well.

This volume finally gets back somewhat to the storyline begun in volume 1, and it's the storyline I've been waiting all this time to get more of. With intrigue and engaging characters, the story delves deeper into the true effects of The Beauty and the ends that those in power will go to in order to hide the truth.
With the return of some story threads and characters, Vol. 4 is definitely one of the higher points of the series, but I'm still waiting for things to return to the levels of excellence achieved in the first installment of this series.

This was fine. It’s just more backstory. So we are following different characters once again.

I both love and hate that the stories in each of these volumes are (so far) largely unrelated. I love that they each explore different facets of how the Beauty would make an impact, in both positive and negative ways - on a micro individual basis and on a macro global-cultural basis.
I hate that there is clearly a mystery that they introduced issue #1 and never really went back to it! We're finally getting back to a bit more of the mystery in this volume. I'm really curious to see where it leads and if the next volume just jumps to another story completely or continues with where this one left off.

This series is solidly written and enjoyably illustrated but increasingly it feels like the first Volume is the only real story it has to tell, as this is yet another volume where more backstories and worldbuilding are sketched out in a way that feels more like really good fanfic or a very detailed wiki. It's not bad... it's just difficult to focus on these stories when you're looking for the next story... instead of the details on a character that you already know is dead.
