This one was so much better than the first.

I connected with this issue much more than the first one (which was a 2.5-3 star read for me). Making this an anthology is a unique option & keeps things fresh so I’m looking forward to the next tale!

It's mooore good, the second time! Lug's Soul Juice is on special delivery as we speak. Gonna get myself boosted, meatheads... maniacally planning...

"Bu... But justice..."

This book levels up!, story drenched with humor and dark satire, frenetic-faced past artwork, and I clearly bought into the theme. Thank you Juni Ba, and sorry, I am still all out of change.

This book is fun…in a disturbing way that reminds us of our complicity in a grotesque capitalist system — but fun! It’s interesting to read this alongside Mark Russell’s ‘One-Star Squadron’ and get these complementary critiques of capitalism: whether by tech or by old-fashioned meat grinding, capitalism has a strange power to transform people into their monstrous selves.

Monkey meat was fun and kind of brought back the satirical fun I had in years past.
