Layman pulled out the central mystery (chicken = death and the connection to the space writing ) for so long with hardly any breadcrumbs until vol 11, so this left the final volume with tons of exposition. The explanation was semi-satisfying but big blocks of text didn't pace well with the graphics or the plot. Also, the first ending seemed understandable, but the addendum ending really erased a lot of the goodwill earned by the series. Overall, a twisted, interesting, and funny series. Would recommend to mature older HS students.
Not my favorite volume, but I still loved it. So many things made me have feelings. And now it's over, and I need to break down and own it.
