YAHunchback Assignments series.
This fourth volume has British spy Modo searching for his biological parents while the ill-intentioned Clockwork Guild does the same in hopes of harnessing the source of Modo's shape-shifting abilities. Fans are left to figure out some of Modo's origin story themselves, but with the return of favorite characters and a riveting final battle, this sci-fi/steampunk series wraps up strongly.
