  The series again is one where its origins in the stylized Japanese figures is interesting but doesn't feel like it's truly being taken advantage of. I like what's here, but there's a safeness about it that's a little disconcerting when they could have gone bigger and in more varied directions. Amanda Conner's art again is what sells this, especially with the strong coloring that's used which helps to evoke the situations in a way that's hard to imagine looking as good in print, and the flow of it is generally pretty strong in terms of the overall narrative. But as a long time comic book reader, there are some nice little tweaks here but not the kind of wholesale changes or deeper look that could be used to really make it its own work as opposed to just another facet of the existing work. I'm definitely enjoying it, there's no doubt there, but it leaves me pining to see this trio truly unleashed to come up with something markedly different from what we've had for so many years.
