I'm still not really sure what to say about Steve Niles' The October Faction -- it just doesn't get beyond "okay" for me, yet it is a little bit addictive to keep on steamrolling through the volumes. The fast pace helps: I raced through the second, third and fourth volume, reading them pretty much back to back.
There is a little bit of a development with a certain relationship here, which is kinda cute and makes a lot of sense -- though there's been a lot of rushing with the character development, this didn't come as a surprise.
And again, the art is kinda growing on me. It makes perfect sense for the story, at any rate.

The story continues to steamroll, with some of my favourite elements being added - two lgbtq characters and vampires. This series does move very quickly and relies on the art alot for story telling, but it gives it this spooky quality and kind of sets you on edge a little, evoking the feeling that danger is around every corner. Really enjoyed this issue.

This series is, I think I have to say, not living up to its potential for me. I love the aesthetic and even the individual sequences, but it just doesn't want to cohere. Doesn't help that this one felt all over the place, lacking a clear narrative drive and introducing elements only to have them immediately dispatched or just randomly drop away.
