Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of gloom and doom, but the key thing is that they press on. Even when the core group changes (mild spoilers?), there's still rays of hope. One thing though, you never know who's gonna die or what seemingly foreshadowing events actually pan out. I'm up to date one it, and highly recommend that you keep reading. I became totally enthralled reading through the first two omnibuses. and eventually getting individual volumes, then issues until I completely caught up.
