this comic is so strange but i mean that in the nicest way.

i think my favourite thing about it is that underneath all the weird spacey superhero stuff, it’s actually just about a person trying to work out who they are. the powers are cool, but the messy human bits are what make me want to keep reading.

it feels like a comic i’d find at 2am and immediately need to know everything about.

still weird. still fun. still very much my thing.

I can't put into words how much I love this series.
I feel so bad for Jocelyn in this one, especially with how Liam seems to have changed since he got control over his powers.

Στο τρίτο τεύχος της σειράς μαθαίνουμε λίγες παραπάνω πληροφορίες για τους γονείς του και για την προέλευση της μαύρης τρύπας που φέρει στο στήθος του, η οποία σημειωτέον έχει νοημοσύνη και επικοινωνεί μαζί του. Επίσης βλέπουμε τον ήρωα να αρχίσει να ελέγχει τη δύναμη της. Βέβαια μετά απ'.τη μέση περίπου του τεύχους που τελειώνουν τα flashbacks και επιστρέφουμε εξολοκλήρου στο παρόν, η διαδοχή μεταξύ των διαφόρων σκηνών είναι αρκετά χαοτική και με μπέρδεψε αρκετά. Η συμπεριφορά του ήρωα επίσης στο τέλος του τεύχους, για εμένα είναι πολύ απότομη και ανεξήγητη σε έναν μεγάλο βαθμό.

The series is moving at a strange pace--things change a little too quickly, but in graphic novel form, I feel like this would work better.
