It took me a week but I finished all 41 chapters of Stray Bullets (the Uber Alles editon. Haven't gotten to Sunshine and Roses or those other series). Mostly, I liked it. Very interesting noir stories. The first few chapters are extremely bleak but while I definitely wouldn't call the stories that follow happy-go-lucky (especially the Dark Days arc) but there is much more humour to it afterward (especially the "Amy Racecar" chapters). It doesn't all age well (gay representation is limited exclusively to sociopathic bullies), but despite it's faults, Virginia Applejack is a great noir character. My one disappointment is that you'd think with so much time, Ginny mom or sister might get more depth than being awful, but they never really do.
I also liked the last chapter of the Derring-Do! arc, but it does feel, relatively speaking, designed to be a bit of crowd-pleasing bit of catharsis to potentially end the series. Will get to the more recent arcs someday.
Next, I'm going to read one of my Christmas gifts, a Josephine Baker comic biography. Looking forward to it.
