I'm a little surprised by this. I enjoyed S.H.O.O.T. First. What didn't you like about it?

I thought the premise was cool but the execution and writing were terrible. Issue 2 and 3 seemed like different books as the focus shifted all over the place. I still have one issue on order and I probably won't read it because I disliked them so much. Glad you are enjoying it though.

Interesting. Everybody has different tastes. I suspect that the fact I read them as they came out while you read them in closer proximity might have influenced our opinions on the title. Some things read better in a single sitting while others seem to benefit from having a little time to digest/forget the story between issues.
