Collecting rule: Acquire Vol. 1 before Vol. 2. Born Again in the Miller Companion explains Matt’s recent circumstances and remains useful prior context.
- Two large volumes include guest appearances and anthology segments.
- The run’s tonal volatility is part of its appeal but will not suit every reader.
