I wrote more about it in this review, but while the first two issues were great, something was missing for me. I enjoyed both the writing and the art a lot, but it didn't really reach out and pull me in on a personal level...until this issue.

Marko and Alana both are entertaining to read about, but as characters they have that "new parent annoyingness" that makes it hard for me (a single, non-child-having dude) to get behind them. Plus they're traitorous deserters! (haha j/k!) But with the intro of Izabel this issue that minor hangup was fixed. I really dig her character and just from one issue I can tell she'll be the 'fun' part of this comic that I'll look forward to each month.

The rest of the comic is top-shelf (loved the Stalk, The Will and Lying Cat), but having Izabel on board helped internalize the comic for me.

I've been hearing so much great stuff about this title. Finally bought issues #1 and #2. Amazing!!!! After the birth of my daughter last year I was totally able to relate to the first few pages of #1. After that, the whole issue exploded out of the pages and issue #2 was good as well. Issue #3 is being shipped as we speak and I can't wait to read more. Definitely one of my favs this year.

Loved Fiona's art ever since I discoverd her in Mystery Society. Feeling slightly (just slightly) embarrassed that I haven't read anything from BKV up untill now..
His brilliant dialogue and the amazing way Fiona draws those expressions, very glad I jumped on board, pretty sure this is going to be a great ride..

Just read 3, art continues to be the strong suit, staples is killing it. Im not exciting at all about them having a monkey ghost teenage girl with them. The will, prince robot iv and the stalk are much more interesting than the main two, the will especially.

Also rileys pinup in the back was sweet

You didn't like Izabel? I thought her origin was pretty well thought out and the "soul transfer" is very intriguing. I would have liked it much more if the Will had gone "Han Solo" and helped them out.

My favorite character in the comic as well. Her character just seems less maudlin than the two parents and more fun to read about.
