i wasn’t planning on continuing with this series after it seemed the main premise was a guy trying to get lucky…this volume may have convinced me otherwise…

OUTSTANDING!!! I have limited experience with microbiology but I am forever grateful to one my lecturers for recommending this book. Not matter what i try i seem to come back to bacteriophages time and time again! This has significantly increased my knowledge and understanding of the subject, allowing me to pursue my interest without getting completely lost in the jargon. Thank you for sharing this story and congratulations on surviving Iraqibacter!

once again, amazing and fantastic artwork. I really loved the inner battles marc was facing with steven and jake this book, while also trying to defeat the two hired killers. I love that he finally came to a settled point within his own mind, so much so that he could share it with those he loves - truly wonderful.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

DNF at page 83. Just starting to get to the plot. no hate to the author. BUT i do hate the main character, just…hate her. I don’t like the way she thinks about herself nor others. And Jane, i could tell from the first interaction that she was what she was (no spoiler lol). I just don’t vibe with the writing style. Sorry!

I liked the art style but struggled to tell some of the characters apart. Issues 1-12:

Positives: 
good characters, especially Marlene and Frenchie
good bad guy, was excited to see him do some bad stuff

Negatives:
felt the final battle with clock man was cut short
liked the idea of mark having his vertebrae ripped out, but the image could have been more graphic. 
i liked the two scenes at once thing that was going on but sometimes took several reads to understand fully. 

Issues #13
Loved the art style and colouring especially but was slightly confused on plot
