[TJ602]

no grade for the private eye #10?....or are you waiting to re-read the entire thing for an overall grade?

[JohnMayo]

We are reviewing The Private Eye #10 on Monday's episode.

In the past, people have gotten confused when we post a rating or (comment about dropping a title) before the episode goes up. Rather than risk shattering the timeline (which Marvel has already done), I've asked Drew to not post ratings for items we are reviewing before the episode with the review goes up.

[drew]

I'll slap he TBA on those next time

[TJ602]

that makes total sense. I just knew you guys had liked that series, and seeing the last issue without a grade had me worried the series blew the ending. I will now finish the series with confidence of a good satisfying read.

You and John have both talked highly about this book in the past. I see Comixology has $9.99 trades for vol. 1&2. Looking to fill the giant hole in my reading left by DC for the next month or so, I'm thinking of picking those up. What grade or recommendation would you give for the series as a whole?

Personally, I'd go with a B for overall quality. I think you'd like it.

I also noticed, if the information is correct that issue #7 is not in the trades (vol 1 #1-6 & vol 2 #8-13) should I just skip #7 or is important to pick up that issue between #6 & #8?

[drew]

I think it's a B+ series overall but can't for the life of me recall the deal with issue 7 I will have to look that up

[JohnMayo]

Letter 44 #7 might have been the flashback issue about how one of the crew members was picked. If so, it is a fine issue but far from essential.

[drew]

yep thats it:

Before she led the crew of the Clarke, Charlotte Hayden was a celebrated anthropologist and physicist. What made her decide to leave life on earth behind - possibly forever? Plus, the first appearance of the mission's most mysterious astronaut - Rowan - scheming jerk that he is.

still not sure why it isn't in the trade

[fudd71]

Thank you gentlemen. I just purchased the first trade and will start reading it at lunch.
