Absolute Planetary Book One

Just finished my second time through both books. Want to give it a second chance to see if my feeling would change on it. Well it has not. The artwork is amazing. The characters are amazing. The individual issues are great and the writing in each is great. It is not even a slow read the pacing is good. My problem with it is each is issue is like a individual story and you just jump from one to the next with sometimes no tie to the last one. So half the time I spent thinking what the hell is going on. Later things start to tie together but even then I did not care. Made it a little better but way to loose with the bigger story of the universe. The character stories tied together nice. Some one else review mentioned that there is so much in each individual issue that they could be there own story. That is my issue with it. I would have like explanation and depth on the world with the characters. Make it 3 books would have been better.
