Another good one. I'm incapable of waiting for the paperback trade. Must buy monthly, like a comic drone.

Ooooh! I did not see that coming! I loved the flashback in that issue and I totally saw me when Alana was fangirling about her book to that guard.

U ovoj epizodi konačno dobijamo uvid u misterijoznu novelu "A Night Time Smoke" koja se provlači kroz radnju prethodnih epizoda - "[...]while Eames fisted couch in search of the remote", hehe zanimljiv izbor glagola i kakav kraj iste ("Always the right"!:-)

No way!!! No freaking way!!! I did not see that coming, seriously... When is this series gonna stop this shocking crap by making me numb every single time I read it. I would never give up this up! It's so good to the point that I can't handle my emotions!
I was surprise there were emotional elements in this. Literally caught by surprise to this. Nearly shed my manly tears. I can't... I just can't...
The end just makes me goes:
This is so good guys, please take this up and read it!

Literally everyone knows how amazing this series is so honestly I don't see how my review would make a difference but here it is anyway.
The Bloggo
PROS: Absolutely beautiful artwork by Fiona Staples. She has just made every moment worth remembering. I mean hell yeah the plot of this series is one of the most amazing ones I’ve ever read but without her artwork, it would’ve been lacking.
The characters I fell in love with on THE FIRST PAGE because dang it! They are just that good. I’ve adopted all of them and they are now my children and if anything happens to them blood will be spilt.
The graphic novel doesn’t shy away from many adult scenes SO DEFINITELY ONLY FOR GROWN UPS. TRUST ME THERE ARE SCARRING THINGS IN THERE.
CONS: I literally cannot think of anything I didn’t like in this book.
RECOMMENDATION: ALL humans and aliens.

‘…so goddamn beautiful.’ This issue was SO good!
Characters get fleshed out, heartwarming moments and two giant balls on a ball that’s an egg. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go read it.

1. This series literally has the best covers.
2. It's like fantasy/superhero/love story/sci-fi/drama/comedy. All genres in one.
3. The art is captivating and tells a story.
4. The little side frames of Hazel's narrations is pretty great.
5. I feel like people will soon have Alana's haircut. And grow horns like Marko.
6. Fard. Puke in my mouth. “Fard will eat your souls and piss them out Fard’s anus.”
7. OH, SNAP! Gwendolyn showed up. She is not how I pictured her.
8. I just can't handle Marko's dad dying.
9. I love the cover of this one. Alana with the pink bubble gum and headphones.
10. I like that the book Alana loves is basically the story of her and Marko.
11. When Alana meets Marko and hits him with the butt of her gun, “In romantic comedies, this is called the meet-cute.” Hahaha
12. Alana stop being naked in front of your father in law.
13. Fard’s balls again. Yeesh.

This is killing me. Reading single issue comics is painful. You get a tantalising snippet of story and then it finishes abruptly. I WANT MOOOOOOORE!
Seriously, I love this story. And the one good thing about the single issues is that I get the hilarious letter page from Brian K Vaughan at the end of each issue. I particularly enjoyed Fiona Staples writing about her process (and getting criticised for correctly spelling 'colour' by her partner in crime!).
Such a hard life I lead.

Holy shit! I did not expect that at all!

I'm so sorry this is the last one I have right now. All the rest are on hold because they've been checked out by someone else. *sob*
Ah well. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Nice issue that included a flashback to how the lovely couple met.

Some progress with Marko's parents, the story of how Alana and Marko first met and a cliffhanger appearance of Gwendolyn!
