I have a soft spot for Vess and Grix and this ragtag crew they have as a family.
“What’s wrong with them?”
“They’ve got asthma, you anal cavity.”
I still love learning about the different alien races this series has brought forth, and Roolians especially are fascinating. Vess’s changes over the course of this one volume kept me super intrigued! The concept of a “bond” that gives them extra powers is just rad.
Grix is a relatable captain in how she tries her best to keep those she cares about safe, while also trying to be as kind to others as she can. There’s something to be said about characters who try so hard to find a happy conclusion for everyone, even in a world where happiness seems incredibly scarce.
I love the personalities of everyone in the crew. They’re all funny and endearing in their own ways! Following their messy journey is both heartwarming and anxiety inducing because I don’t want anyone to get hurt!!
I’m definitely looking forward to the third volume of this! Apparently that will be the end and I’m very excited for it.

How did this get even more amazing?
Although I need the the third arc immediately - damn you, coronavirus, bc my LCS isn't getting comics deliveries anymore.

I had high hopes for this one after the first volume. The art remains striking but the storyline falters a bit. Here's hoping volume 3 brings it all together.

The art continues to be so beautiful. My only complaints are that some of the action is hard to follow, and I’m unsure the timing of when this volume takes place relative to the first.
