Notes:
(1) I don't know why we needed to retcon in Edison's smarter, older brother, Elijah.
- Past his initial introduction as an off-the-grid druggie, they're more or less the same person.
- You'd think there'd at least be some sibling rivalry or past conflict—perhaps a stolen girlfriend—but no! They spend the whole book smelling each other's farts—figuratively, of course.

Notes:
(1) This is going noticeably slower than other Millar trades I've recently read.
- The art isn't my cup of tea. It's boring, frankly, and doesn't exactly lend energy to the narrative.
- The characters are just insufferable. All they do is talk about how smart they are.
(2) I can't be the only one who took one look at Froth Schroeder and thought "Dr. Robotnik," right?

Notes:
(1) Let me think... do I hate any Millar protagonist more than Edison Crane?
- Possibly, though I'd have to check the rolls. Nevertheless, he's the one that immediately comes to mind.
- I'm sure he has a fan club in some niche corner of the internet, but I don't know how anyone could think a genius know-it-all would make a good empathetic hero, let alone series lead.
