(NB: I read the individual issues that will be compiled into Vol. 6)
I still have so many questions! I definitely want to go back and read the entire series. I probably need to create some Visio diagrams and spreadsheets to keep track of everything when I do, so I can really understand what mysteries were resolved and how. My off-the-cuff impression is that things were mostly wrapped up, but not always in a completely satisfying way.
I waited so eagerly for Issue #30 to come out, it probably couldn't live up to my expectations no matter what. And in addition, it tied up the girls' story in a quiet, thoughtful way - most of the timey-wimey tears in the dimensions, zappy battles, and big revelations were already resolved earlier.
That said, I felt the quiet, thoughtful resolution was handled very nicely! And I can't say how much I appreciate a series (comic or otherwise) that maps its story out and sticks to the plan, rather than desperately iterating plotlines to cash in until it collapses and fizzles out. This was a coherent narrative arc, artistically and meticulously drawn.
I can't wait to see the Amazon adaptation!!! I highly recommend the series to anyone, and especially to Gen X ladies who had tall bangs in 1988! :)
Overall an excellent book/series. I think it is best read all at once as there are a lot of twisty plot elements.
My break between reading the first five volumes and this one was too long, I'm afraid I had forgotten most of the story already. They were good books, and certainly warrant a re-read at a later time.
