Should've known theyd find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, having a success like The Last Ronin under your belt then going straight to a Talk-a-thon. I notice this a lot, that when the writer is some sort of aspiring novelist the book is really word heavy, but when the writer is also the artist it tends to be one big, poorly transitioned action scene. The writer/artist duos who can find that sweet spot in-between seem to be increasingly rare.
