Opinions of a Wolf

Summary:
Yorick, Dr. Mann, and Agent 355 (not to mention Ampersand) have finally made it to California, which surprisingly has managed to mostly avoid the chaos taking over the rest of the US.  Dr. Mann is hard at work attempting to figure out why Yorick and Ampersand have survived for so long.  Meanwhile, the crazed assassins who broke off of 355’s Culper Ring are in hot pursuit of the whole bunch.

Review:
I’m pleased to say that this entry in the series returned to the former glory of volume 3 and avoided the oddness of volume 4.

Perhaps what’s best is how much Yorick is growing as a character. Finally!  He actually has sex!  And makes plans. And thinks things through.  But not always, so he’s still him.

There is a lot of productivity in the storyline too.  I like that Dr. Mann actually considers a fantastical explanation for Yorick’s survival so far.  It adds another aspect to her character and the storyline as well.  In fact this choice of believing known fact or believing in a fantasy is a recurring theme in this entry in the series, and one that I really enjoyed.

The art continues to be good, the storyline moves right along, Yorick is less annoying, plus sex!  Definitely a worthwhile entry in the series.
