The resurrection of the Omaha the Cat Dancer series is a dream come true for me. It is sad to think that the passing away of Kate Worley has marred its reappearance, but she had entrusted her husband with her notes, and he is working closely with Reed Waller to finally finish this epic story. I can't wait for the finale.

If you haven't seen Omaha, the series is hard to describe. The long story arc moves around a handful of major characters, their lives, and their loves. That includes some real grownup loving, so this definitely isn't for the kiddies, despite the anthropomorphized menagerie that makes it up. The part that's hard to describe is its appeal, why these characters grow on me the way they do, but they certainly do.

In this sequence, Omaha splits for a while, the investigation into Bonner's death gets close to home, and we find yet another with good reason to dance on his grave. The other characters's lives advance, too. Nothing thrilling, but it's a warm and affectionate tone makes it all worth while.

As with a soap opera, it's hard to jump into the middle - the characters' back-story matters too much. So go back, start with vol. 1, and work your way here.
