While we don't yet know 100% what's going on, we do get an expansion of this world and hints at what might be going on. Time travel, potential aliens, and characters you're definitely going to love. I do think that's one of the things that Brian K. Vaughan is best at. Writing a group of characters you know you're going to love, even if they're going to (probably) put you through emotional turmoil. Will definitely be picking up the next one after work today!

The time travel element of this was thoroughly enjoyable. It was like Dark (the TV show) with aliens. Also, the art was gorgeous and the colour palette was phenomenal.

Vol 2 was better than the first, and I am enjoying seeing more of the mystery of what's happening to the girls unfold. It still left a lot more new questions than answers with the plot but it was vivid and engaging enough to make me want to continue the series even though I was iffy about it after reading the first volume. Love the art as always and hope to see more of the girls' backstories and development in the following volumes.
