    It's okay. I would have enjoyed it more if it came out faster. Not sure why we had to wait for what seemed countless centuries between issues.

    It's fantastic. It's exactly what I would have expected/hoped for from each of them. The best work of JH Williams III's career and a new, sci-fi heavy facet of Gaiman that is really up my alley (without losing any of what makes him Gaiman).

    No more beautiful - artistically, emotionally - comic on the stands (when it is, indeed, on the stands).

    Extremely disappointed these creators haven't bothered to try to stick to anything like a schedule especially after that garbage about the issue 2 delay in November 2013 "We’re hoping it’ll be the only delay though".

    To put it in persective we are expecting 6 issues of a comic along with 6 B&W reprints, we have had 4 issues and in the meantime we have had a 45 minute OVA & 2 seasons of Mushishi full animated and broadcast.

    Damn, delays like that?

    I guess it will take a good bit before it comes out in trade...

    I"m enjoying it, but the delays are brutal. I usually have to go back and re-read everything as I've forgotten what's going on by the time a new issue hits the stands. At this point, it's probably best to wait for the trade.

    Gotta say I loved the first 2 issues when I was reading them but by the time the next one came came out it became the title I just put in the cupboard to wait till it's finished and since then I suppose I have become disinterested.

    That shouldn't since there have been better creators before and after him.
