The slow-down of the last two issues is purely an artifact of them being collections of short stories but after the more focused first two volumes it is hard not to wish for a little more plot amid the fun jaunts into various international folklores. As with the last collection, the most engaging material is at the end when Abe joins HB, however ineffectually, for a dip back into HB's personal quest. While funny and satisfying in its own right, this dip didn't give us anything new either.
