Progress was made slow by a flooded house, which might be ironic for an Abe Sapien comic, but this was a good volume! Abe might have a worse prophecy than Hellboy did.

"Meh" is the only word I can use to describe this volume and sometimes mediocre can come off much worse than bad. I want to be upfront and admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Abe's arc (so far, at least). I was hoping this series would help me cope with some of the unfortunate circumstances my favorite character was having to endure. Unfortunately after finishing this volume I still feel just as uneasy, and I'm more confused than ever. Abe's motivations are muddled, there really isn't much character development, no real endgame, and I can't help but feel like this story is a little reminiscent of Hellboy's arc (not a huge fan of his arc, either). Much like Abe in this volume, you don't get many answers, which is frustrating. I'm hoping volume 2 is better.
