So it's a great time for another catastrophic event to rouse the team into action. Trouble is -- each member of the team is distracted by some very real problems of their own. The White Violin is bedridden due to an unfortunate blow to the head. Rumor has lost her voice -- the source of her power. Spaceboy has eaten himself into a near-catatonic state, while Number Five dives into some shady dealings at the dog track and The Kraken starts looking at his littlest brother as the key to unraveling a mysterious series of massacres . . . all leading to a blood-drenched face-off with maniacal assassins, and a plot to kill JFK!" -- from publisher's web site.

There is also a wonderful weaving of the JFK assassination into the story. Characters are well drawn, complex, interesting and both likeable and detestable at the same time.
Much better than I expected. Art and writing were both well done. Reminded me a bit of Hellboy/BPRD type books.
I am excited to getmy hands on this, although I am quite upset that the library does not have the first volume. So I'm going wayout of order in this series. I am a HUGE Gerard Way fan which brings me to read this comic book.
