Ghüs, Friendo, Lying Cat, Sweet Boy, Hazel, and Sophie. Must protect them at all costs.

Loving the character interactions and found family aspects.

The sexual content and crude dialogue can be a little much at times.

Spoiler

I’m over seeing The Will having sexual flashbacks with The Stalk. Unless, she isn’t actually dead. But we get it, they hooked up a lot and he has mixed feelings.

 

Robot King reveal made me laugh.

Spoiler

his head is a giant flat screen TV and it was playing Niagara Falls footage. A full page spread too.

Spoiler

the first page of the book is a close up of an android being born out of a android vagina. Shocking, yes. But if you read the previous books, then you know how wild the story and images are.

Another great addition to the series! Everytime I read one I assume I will find at least thing I start to dislike, but I have not! It gets better and better

This volume picks up after a little time skip, and I really like that choice as the progression felt natural. It was very fun to see Hazel a little bit older, speaking and walking around as a toddler now and interacting with the world around her more. I also loved how the conflicts started with general married spouse arguments, tension rising, until the stakes suddenly spiked again by the end of the volume with a big cliffhanger ending. We are essentially following 3 different groups of characters and their storylines, but seeing how they are tied together and how they inevitably clash is the thrilling and juicy part. I have come to love almost all of the diverse cast of characters and am just speeding through these comics because I can't wait for more.
