Wow, this issue made me nervous... So much crazy stuff happened. Second half kept me on the edge of my bed. And at this point I can tell you for sure, this is one of my top favourite series now and I'll follow it no matter what (well, I hope nothing bad will happen to Ada *fingers-crossed*).
Ada is with friends, having left Alex. While they are looking around DC, the FBI stops to question them. Ada flees when a demonstrator helps distract the FBI. Ada is not able to make it back to Alex and collapses outside someones door who doesn’t turn out to be Alex. Overall a really good issue. I’m looking forward to trying to catch up to all of the issues out this month. Highly recommend if you like robots.

Alex + Ada, Vol. 2 es una emocionante continuación de la serie de cómics creada por Jonathan Luna y Sarah Vaughn. En este nuevo volumen, los lectores son llevados más profundamente al mundo de Alex y Ada, donde la relación entre un humano y una inteligencia artificial cobra un nuevo significado y desafía las normas y prejuicios de la sociedad.
La historia retoma justo después de los eventos del primer volumen, y vemos a Alex lidiando con las repercusiones de su decisión de activar la conciencia de Ada, una androide. Mientras intentan mantener su amor y su relación en secreto, se enfrentan a obstáculos y peligros cada vez mayores.
El mundo que los rodea está lleno de discriminación y temor hacia las IA, y deben navegar por un terreno peligroso para proteger su conexión y buscar la libertad y la igualdad para todos los seres conscientes, independientemente de su origen.
La narrativa de Luna es fresca y nítida, sumergiendo al lector en un mundo futurista lleno de dilemas éticos y cuestiones existenciales. La exploración de temas como la identidad, el libre albedrío y el amor prohibido se entrelaza hábilmente en la trama, ofreciendo una reflexión profunda sobre la naturaleza humana y las relaciones humanas.
