The Unwritten, volume 4

The Unwritten: Leviathan by Mike Carey and Peter Gross, 144 pages

After a bit of a wait for this newest volume, it wasn't easy sliding back into the story of the possibly fictitious Tom(my) Taylor. However, this volume has Tom learning more about his past, about his abilities through the whale tales (Moby-Dick, Sinbad, Pinocchio, Jonah, etc.). It's nice to see Tom not completely oblivious (or in denial) about what he may be and I'm hoping that means this series is finally hitting its stride on that front.

One thing that really would have been nice in this volume: some sort of "the story so far" feature at the beginning. The Unwritten doesn't come out often enough to completely remember what happened last, particularly when you've got other complex graphic novels that you're reading in the interim.
