I honestly care more about one day finally getting Forever War than ever seeing the end of Vol. 4, to be blunt.
No matter how the last few issues of Vol. 4 went... you still have the first three dozen. Ain't no fixin' that mess.
As for Laird himself, guy's burnt out. Probably enjoying some much-needed quiet time, the most he's had in decades. Bless him. I'm not a huge fan of his work but the guy's earned a break.
