There were parts of this that I wasn't very interested in, but I liked the introduction of various people related to Marko, and what this reveals about him as a character. The art is still stellar, Hazel has a nice narrative voice, and the story is compelling and has me invested.

This second volume gives more backstory into how we ended up where we are. It tells us a little about Marko’s past and his relationship with his parents, a very brief Sparknotes version of Marko and Alana’s relationship before she got pregnant, and a bit of Prince Robot IV’s combat past.

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.

Marko’s mom is intense. 

I’m not a cat person, but I love Lying Cat. 

Just when you think The Stalk is back, nope. Also, Gwendolyn is MAD, I wonder what happened in their relationship.
