The neo-noir tale of a scientist turned art thief who travels through multiple universes in order to counter the government manipulation of his scientific discoveries, RASL is a rad concept which ultimately comes across as meandering. Whereas the early issues of BONE profited from slowly revealing new characters and plot points while serving up punchlines at a steady rate, RASL seems to suffer from the same problems that BONE did toward the end of the series: random (though admittedly intriguing) references to ancient mysteries and symbols, inconsistently drawn characters, and dialogue that strains to be more "adult."
However, there's still one issue left. There's still a chance Jeff will tie all of the loose ends together as he did splendidly in the first story arc of BONE, rendering RASL pretty awesome.
One can hope.
