I love Sheath and Knife, and this comic is no exception, but this is definitely the weakest installment yet. Disjointed flashbacks, very little dialogue between the two brothers (I love their back-and-forths, the Christmas and Beach comics I feel excelled at this), and no "climactic" moments. I was waiting for that one scene that would be elongated that would push me over the edge, both brothers reaching completion, but... it never happened. None of the scenes are given time to breathe, and each one easily could have been a comic of their own. It's like they had a lot of ideas, but didn't want to sit down and flesh any of them out, and just decided to do a compilation album of sorts. It might work for a lot of others out there, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.
Thanks to the anon who dumped it all here!
