Re-read in preparation for Saga Vol. 10
This one again was a bit of a dull one, it mostly focuses on blooming marital issues, but the introduction of Dengo and the conflict in the Robot Kingdom was pretty interesting, but overall this one felt like more of a kickstart for a new arc rather than something exciting, similar to Vol. 2

I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about the introduction of another storyline. I know that from a genre perspective, comics and graphic novels are supposed to be a great medium for having parallel storylines that intersect only at the author's desire - that it can all be connected or not at all. Still, it seemed a bit risky given that while we had definitely come to a stopping point in other storylines, we had not actually come to their conclusion. But the twist and integration into the overarching plot worked very well - I'm intrigued to see what happens when our heroes arrive at this destination. Well, maybe heroes is a stretch, and they still have to find their destination, if they actually can, but you get what I mean.

I really loved how this volume escalated in violence and intensity, and I really felt like some shit went down in this one. An absolute roller coaster.

Another great addition to the series! Everytime I read one I assume I will find at least thing I start to dislike, but I have not! It gets better and better
