I wouldn’t call this a filler because important things do happen and important characters are introduced and expanded upon, but it does feel like a volume meant to provide context and depth, and primarily to set up what’s to come next. Put everyone where they need to be to move the story along.
I still very much enjoyed it and am so excited to continue.

I feel like this one is a pretty neutral volume on the whole, we mostly just get introduced to a lot of characters and Marco and Alana's history as well as setting everything up for the future storylines, and it also had some good foreshadowing, but overall not a huge standout in the entire series.
Still, and excellent comic as always.

As a complete sucker for star crossed love and hopefulness, it hits all the right points.
