By the end of The Few #2, my overall impression of the series had changed somewhat. Now looking back, the first issue kind of feels like more of a prologue than the actual start of the story. It moved kind of slow, and, more than anything else, it provided setup for certain characters and circumstances so they can be easily developed in greater detail later. But at the same time, it doesn't feel like a requirement to read in order to pick up and understand this issue. Anything really integral to the story is reiterated, and Lewis does a fine job working it in without it feeling too clumsy.
