Once you lose track of Mr. Howard things do kind of go off into the weeds. The Annihilation Score had me really torn. On the one hand I really really enjoyed all the procedural stuff. The establishment of a bureaucracy devoted to the management of superheroes/magic persons was really fun and chewy to read. Dr. O'Brien's perspective is engaging, especially all the back and forth with the evil violin. On the other, it was pretty ham-handed about how readily demonic activity and stuff could get re-branded as superhero/supervillian stuff.
