That includes The Gypsy Morph and the next two books. The next book, Black Staff, has some surprises in it, that's for sure. One I didn't see coming at all.

The first and second books are fantastic, and some of the most innovative stories Brooks' has told in ages. It's not for everyone, given the post-apocalyptic setting, but Brooks took some risks and they paid off. That being said, the final volume, <strong>The Gypsy Morph</strong> was a let down. It was predictable and felt like Brooks outlined the series too heavily, with little wiggle-room as he brought each storyline to its conclucsion with few suprises and little rocking of the boat.
