Pope Hats 6
That Lin, fresh off his early-career defining triumph, uses this issue to take stock rather than diving headlong into another decade-consuming saga, is understandable. That Shapeshifter feels like a minor issue in the wake of Frances’s triple-sized conclusion in #5 is equally so. Continue reading
