Reviewed each issue of this, but, to put my 2 cents in this collected format, this isn't worth it. It started out great. Dark, creepy, and mysterious. It was awesome.. and then it went downhill from there. Half the book is read like a bad-written Power Rangers episode from the 90s (was there a good one?) and Mr. Bloom got from a great villain to a story we've seen a million times before. Cringe-worthy moments, lots of those. An ending that does not satisfy at all. Mediocre at best. Sadness.
