Homeward Bound
Our heroes have split up for diverse reasons, and we benefit greatly from the different directions their personalities and the story travels. Becky has to start to make her own decisions, while also learning about herself, her family, and her fate. Drake is here, too, giving us an engaging experience with a different kind of villain - somewhat reminiscent to me of the Saint of Killers from Preacher, but Bunn and Co. have their own spin, as always, on what would otherwise be blase tropes in less skillful hands. The best part of this storyline, of course, is Gord's personal journey back home and all the ghosts (literally) of his past. This third volume is the proper time to learn about character backstories, and Bunn and Co. do this right as well. Gord is becoming a very integral and interesting character, whose past has played a far more significant part in the overall story than we originally thought when we first met him in volume 1. It's possible he may have the most riding on the outcome of our heroes' navigation through this adventure, an adventure getting more excitingly complex all the time. Just in time, we are introduced to more organizations vying for the guns and what their reunification may mean for the world - and suddenly those who seemed to be friends may not be so friendly after all, and those who seemed to be foes may be more beneficial than we thought. With a good mix of emotions and revelations, Bound continues to make the series engaging, diverse, and enjoyable.
