pickMaus pt. 2 is about Vladek‘s time in the concentration camps and what he did to survive until he was freed. It also offers a bigger look at how the Holocaust affected the rest of Vladek‘s life and how the author has struggled to come to terms learning about his parents‘ experiences and how that has directly affected his life.
pickMaus pt. 1 tells the true story of the author‘s father, Vladek‘s, life in Poland as Hitler rose to power. In it, we see Vladek meeting his wife, running several successful businesses, and fleeing the Nazi forces as they began rounding up Jews.
We also see the conversations between the author and his father as he learns about his parent‘s past and tries to come to terms with it.
so-soI found it a bit slow and lacking in the urgency to, you know, go save the guy's sister. The concept is fun, though, and I enjoy how much of a scientist Laios is (though not explicitly on page called a scientist, he's clearly fascinated by how monsters work).
I'm finding this a bit slow, but I did giggle about the whole recommendation not to eat basilisk raw, because of the risk of Campylobacter!
pickSome of the finest crime/noir storytelling in comics. Brubaker is a master at this. He has various crime series, and I cannot find fault with any of them. Bastard makes it look easy!
He is leagues above in quality over any other comic writer attempting crime fiction. There is no contest. Follow this man‘s writing, and you will never be disappointed.

so-soMeh. Various teamups, a few quips, various villains I don't know very well or am not very interested in.
Jimmy Olsen as Elastic Man and Batgirl, as well as Green Arrow and Green Lantern were team ups with fun potential, but neither story was long enough.
Here's hoping next installment in this series is as good as previous ones!
pickTo hear Persephone finally get some help and go to therapy was cathartic. To hear her finally get help. She‘s such a strong woman for doing so!
