After surviving the most intense day of his life, young navigator Abel is harboring doubts about having started a romantic relationship with his quick-tempered squadmate, Cain. Stories of the fighter's volatile – and violent – past abound on the station, and it's proving difficult to separate truth from rumor. When an alien menace threatens all he holds dear, Abel must keep a clear head – but how can he concentrate when his thoughts keep returning to his mysterious new partner?
In the second chapter, there is thankfully a little more plot and a bigger picture is revealed. Various other characters are introduced and it gets quite interesting. Otherwise, yum, so delicious. I have to admit that I find the artistic side a bit difficult; I can hardly tell the characters apart, but that's on me. I'm just too fast and have to slow down and use my eyes properly, not as if I were at work.
Edit Feb 14: C'MON CHAPTER FOUR. TODAYS THE DAY. C'MON C'MON C'MON C'MON C'MON.

UMMMM, HELLS YEAAHHHHHHH?!!! This is good shit guys. Real good shit. For FREE. How is this free? I just read all 3 chapters that are posted. Fan-frickin-tastic. Wooooooo! *flaps arms*
Review: You can find my series review in my review of Ch. 1! Below are my thoughts for this chapter specifically.
First Read Thoughts (Ch. 2):
Cain was still awful, but I'll take me some Praxis ;-) Anyway, there was at least a tiny bit of story before the sex this time, so that's something, I suppose. And I liked the scene after the sex when they kind of had a moment and started laughing together. But it was still pretty much just about sex and an abusive sociopath. I'm not quite seeing what everyone else seems to see in this series. Nice artwork though (it seemed better this time even), I will not argue with that. And it works as a distraction since I'm not feeling great and could not for the life of me figure out what book to start next or concentrate on any of the books I tried.
Chapter 2 was better. I'm definitely getting more into the story again. I liked getting to see some other characters (Praxis and Deimos), who also seemed interesting and unique. Especially Deimos, being all sneaky, giving info to Cain, pulling a knife on someone who groped him, clearly wanting Cain but also being afraid of him. I also started to feel something forming between Cain and Abel, beyond just fucking, when they had a moment of laughter together. There was still sex though, albeit much more consensual (not dubcon) this time.
Recommended For: Anyone who likes erotic comics, manga-style artwork, space battles, m/m romance, and romance that starts a little fucked up but ends cute.
Whoa. What did I just get myself into? That was something else. I didn't mean to look at this let alone get addicted to it. All three chapters were fantastic! I got into the story line and even held my breath as they went out on that last mission. The drawings are great, the sex is hot even drawn in black and white. Um...GO ABEL! That is all I have to say about that. I am curious now to see where else this goes.
Oh the extras are fun! If you read this check them out. The boys look good in color and a few of those scenes are unf and adorably swoony too.
Wow, hot little m/m cartoon piece about starfighter Cain and his navigator Abel. Beautifully drawn, weekly updates - I think I'm hooked! "That's not a bite. That's a scar. Everyone will know you belong to me."
I liked the art, though found it a bit rough at first.
But the story really caught me. Abel is appealing through his shyness and quiet nature that hides strong desires and urges. And Cain draws you with his forcefulness, with his 'fuck you' attitude and sureness. And the chemistry between the two is simply dripping out of the panels, alighting everything.
I am very curious to see what plans Cook has for poor unsuspecting Abel and what role is Cain meant to play.
Merged review:
The storyline was quite full in this chapter.
Quite a few mysteries and ideas created throughout the chapter. I can't wait for the story to progress.
GAH! Why is everything I start reading unfinished?
The first chapter of this comic could do with some more build-up, because at first it felt like there would be no story, just smut, and that's really no fun. Then the story appears, and it's intriguing. Plus, I like the dark artwork and Cain's unpardonable character.
Thoroughly enjoyed this grubby bit of goodness. A little slow to start, but great tension and the sex is just made of awesome. Left me wanting more and was lucky enough to have the 2nd book to read online at the authors site. A lovely way to spend a morning!
The first chapter introduced and focused on Cain and Abel. The second chapter presented more interesting characters, and depicted more complexity to the characters and plot. The sex is hot, really hot, but the real meat of the comic is, of course, the story. Very intriguing and keeps you wondering. And the artwork is positively beautiful.
*Will continue to update this review as more chapters are released*
PFfftt, gods, I love these two assholes. (Four if you count Deimos and Praxis.) I think this was even better than the first time. Definitely those sex scenes were 1000x hotter, that's for sure. *growls* Cain will forever be my favourite, followed by Abel and little Deimos. <3 Everything about this comic is SUCH gold.
If you liked Axis or Rhys in Teahouse, maybe you'll like this one too. Well, you can see the similarity in the artwork, especially in Cain's profile... his face reminded me of Rhys/Axis. :)
And you should check the comment section below the comic page when you read it, it's hilarious!! XD LMAO.
Abel volunteers himself and Cain for a suicide mission deep into Colteron space. They must destroy the shipyard that's being built otherwise it's curtains for Earth and the colonies. In other news...they still can't keep their hands off each other....
This is an ongoing webcomic, which I normally don't like to get into since I HATE waiting for the next parts. But so far, it's peaked my interest and I've been sucked in, dammit. Story has plenty of secrets yet to be revealed, and the drawing is just gorgeous, and oh so naughty at times. Very yummy. Chapters 1-3 are complete, now it's a waiting game for Chapter 4, probably page by page. Sigh...definitely going to hate myself later for this...lol.
