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.

Re-read to prepare for Vol. 10
I feel like this one is a pretty neutral volume on the whole, we mostly just get introduced to a lot of characters and Marco and Alana's history as well as setting everything up for the future storylines, and it also had some good foreshadowing, but overall not a huge standout in the entire series.
Still, and excellent comic as always.

It took me a while to get my hands on it, but I thoroughly enjoyed Volume 2!  The cast of characters introduced in these issues are just as captivating as the ones we met in Volume 1. 

I'm really digging the whole "Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale" vibe that Gwendolyn has going on.

  I'm also really impressed by the artwork in this volume - the coloring is absolutely gorgeous.  Maybe it's because I had such a big gap between Volume 1 and 2, but I don't remember being this enamored by the artwork in Volume 1.  It was great, but the artwork in Volume 2 seems to be at another level.

I'm looking forward to starting Volume 3 hopefully soon, where I'll continue to wonder if Moonfall's language is based on Italian.
