I actually didn't like this volume at all, and usually I'm all about this black and white sketch art of this line. While I get that ostensibly this line is to show off the artwork by the artists and that the story is secondary to the art, the stories being fragmented and missing key parts was disappointing from a reader perspective. 

Even the line art -- the actual key reason this exists -- wasn't as good as other Unwrapped volumes. The artwork was light, as if drawn in pencil? Very light pencil? And not darkened at all in the printing process. It was sometimes hard for me to discern what was going on from panel to panel. Also, some panels in particular were oddly low-res, as if the source material was blown up a ton to fit on the page. 

Overall a disappointment.
