AMERICA EATS ITS YOUNG
I nearly stopped reading it then, myself--it irked me to no end that Brock had just seemed to fall off the edge of the Earth. I remember telling my friend on the way in, "I swear to God, if there's no Eddie in here, I'm out!" Looks like He was listening, and I got what I wanted. Then the book started to get very engrossing. Then it got even better.
Even though you stopped reading this book, you really should go out and grab the rest while you can. Very intricate plot--and like nothing I've ever seen.
Gosh, it seems like I wrote a very detailed post for someone just 2 or 3 weeks ago--up to, and including issue #16, but I can't remember who it was for, or even what thread it was on.
