Like, I couldn't stop reading, wanted to fly through all of these, had to keep going done. It is going to be difficult to really differentiate my criticism down to each individual issue, knowing how the thing comes out at the end of the thing. But with this level of admiration, it is going to be tricky. Great to see this kind of enthusiasm from me for reading - but now that I finally have a minute... Strange that so much would go into the development of the Vine homeworld to just work to destroy it so quickly. I did like the sampling that the things did on the planet for preservation -but wanted to see more of that (I know - later). By the way - anyone know what the half black and white really meant?
