Caution, Slight Spoilers


Clair continues to gain power (and respect, nice), very cool, but Raki's hanging out with Creatures of the Abyss? I just hope Priscilla doesn't eat him. Maybe her "This boy smells good" will become 'that boy tasted good'? Scary.

1st of all: I was utterly shoked to see a customer rating of 2 stars for this volume.
2nd of all: I have to STRONGLY DISAGREE with some of the reviewers about it being read fast and easily and the couple of last volumes being progressing slowly, #1: the ONLY reason this series is always read fast is bacause it is really good, and will immidietly hook you on it, example: when i got volume 12 of this by the mail from Amazon.com i was too busy too read at the same day, it was summer vacation and i was playing video games, at midnight before going to bed , i decided to read the 1st chapter in the volume and read the rest the next day, then i lose my sense of time, and when flip to the next page i find the back cover, wow i finished it already, but it's only been a minute.....(look at the clock) NOOOOOOOO its been an HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!(yes an hour, am a slow reader :\)
#2 last couple of volumes before this have been progressing slow because of that AWESOME!!!!! fight against Dauf in volume 8 and 9, or would you prefer a quick, pointless, boring fight? i dont know you tell me?????

The claymore series deserves a little more praise. They are expertly done. The only problem is how fast/easy they are to read. Still, I love the comics, and can't wait for nmbr 11!

The first 5-6 books went great. If you already made it this far yo already know that the artwork is not the greatest compared to many others. Characters give lifeless poses even in the heat of the battle, mostly the characters give either full body poses or portraits, in which the artist has excelled in. SO I am quite surprised that this series is heavily laden with battle scenes. Unfortunately it got very boring. In each book you will find only about 10%-30% of real story progression and 70-90% battle scenes. Having said that I am not that interested in seeing the same lifeless poses of the Claymore fighters and monsters over and over again, as I said the artwork is not that good, lack of story gives me the impression that I am reading Pokemon or something I barely made it through this one. I don't think I'll follow this one anymore.

Too bad because it started great...
