I continue to adore this series. The seventh issue is quite a lot darker compared to some of the earlier ones and it superbly creates a heavy sense of dread and despair, especially towards the end of the last issue. I still hope that the next volume will be lighter, even though I adored how the heaviness of the narrative was executed in this one.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any sadder, it did. So much loss and grief in this volume. The creators really meant it when they said back in volume 3 that Mister Heist hated the "kill your darlings" trope because whew some beloved characters were lost throughout this series and this volume is no exception.

Rhetorical question: when will this series stop destroying me? Because this one made me straight up cry. One of my favorites is dead, there are several layers of tragedy to wade through from the planetary to the familial level, and these idiots continue to make questionable-at-best or completely-messed-up-at-worst decisions with their sex lives.

And it has one of the most gut-punch endings I've ever experienced. I don't anticipate a swift recovery.

Another good entry. The only things that I didn't like are

how out of the blue it came that Izabel could be killed, how she was killed off

 and the new antagonist March. Otherwise I really liked it
