What keeps this from being the best of the books is the ending, and I can&#8217;t really talk about that here. As for the rest of the book, well, it&#8217;s fantastic. Probably the best of the series right up until #102 or so. Secret Sacred Wars Roach, Dirty Drew and Fleagle, Elrod, and all the rest, it&#8217;s probably the funniest of the book up until this point too. I&#8217;m pretty sure that title belongs to Guys, although I&#8217;m not there again yet. It starts off with Cerebus, almost dead with his brush with Epop and without a clue what to do. I really don&#8217;t want to ruin anything for you people that haven&#8217;t read it, there&#8217;s just much goodness in here and most of it is because of surprises. If you&#8217;re just not sure if you should buy this one and already have the first book&#8230; well, that could never happen, because I can remember how the first book ended. If you want to buy this book first or something, don&#8217;t be stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Cerebus Volume 4: Church and State part 2 Wow.
