There's nothing Val Velocity, leader of the fashionably functional Ultra V's, hates more then authority. Ever since the party at the Nest ended, the V's and the other teenage gangs of the desert are made homeless and lost. They need a leader. They want revenge. They've got Val. But with paranoia oozing from his designer leather jacket, and his sights set on the color red, is her really the one to keep the desert the free and peaceful place it once was? Or is he no better than the suffocating BLI?

All the issues are awesome, but I definitely think this one is my favourite so far. In this comic we get to see more of Blue & Red story. I think Blue it's my favourite character of the series, which it's pretty weird, because she is a Droid, not a Killjoy, but she is so brave and vulnerable at the same time. Everytime she suffers, my heart aches.
Leaving sentimentalities aside, there were some creepy (but amazing) moments, like this one:
And of course, Gerard's poetry again:
Now, I've finished reading every single issue I had. Let's wait for the next one!
