In addition, when Bull gives Dee “the elementary version” of the war that shaped their landscape, the images were done in a neat, stylized format. The art in this issue was everything we’ve come to expect from the series: a fun manga style, a steampunk-appropriate color palette, and hilarious expressions on everybody. If Bull was stolen, what does that mean for Dee?

And two: her brother was never “adopted.” He was stolen from his family, for reasons that still aren’t clear.

One: her father may have had a major role in the war that crippled an entire species. She’s trying to track down her adoptive father, but as much as she tries to deny it, all the evidence points to two disturbing facts. Having found her adopted brother Bull last issue, Dee is quickly brought into the “herd:” Bull’s family under the clouds. Click the jump for a review of the last book in Tyson Hesse’s Diesel. We get a steampunk/manga world, robots, post-apocalyptical renegades, and flightless bird-men out for revenge. Lest you think it’s a preachy book, it’s really not. None of them make her happy, but they’re all too obvious to ignore. But in the fourth and final book she gets another wake up call. I’d thought by the end of Diesel #3 that Dee was well into her “growing the hell up” phase, when she realized that her whole “sitting back and waiting for the thing I’m good at to fall into my lap” plan wasn’t going to work out. I’m not exactly what you’d call a “history expert.” If it happened before I was born, how important could it really be?
