New characters introduces

I started reading the Black Cat series before the anime series came out on TV and I enjoy seeing the differences. In vol 8, Sephiria(No. 1 in charge of Chronos numbers) and Rinslet Walker(professional theif) meet. Sephiria shows the manipulative side of Chronos. She gets Rinslet to help Chronos find Creed and the Apostles of the Stars, and sends someone to involve Train and Sven to go after Creed. Cerberus is introduced. They are three of Chronos numbers, Jenos(no. 7), Nizer(no. 5) and Beluga(no. 11). Their combined assasination abilities can bring down an army. But can they bring down the Apostiles of the Stars by killing Creed? I found the introduction of the new characters, mixed with the old characters to be interesting. I enjoyed finding out Chronos numbers and Apostiles of the stars abilities. The series sort of(and I do MEAN sort of) reminds me of the Xmen. Only down side is Creed taking Rinslet Walker as hostage, again. Once is enough.
