33... isn't that great, not the best place to start from. If you've been noticing the comics slowly getting more serious, 33 is a throwback of about 20 issues. Plus, the story with Snively is really out of place after what he did in 30.
Since I'm a modern girl, I like the latest drawing instead of the earlier weird ones. I know I'm missing a lot of information, but I have plenty of services to find the information whenever it is needed.
