Excellent artwork and compelling story. I love the way Emilia explains world issues and contextualizes them in the story. It feels incredibly accessible for topics people often only learn about in depth during a women’s/gendered studies course. Some of the lines in the comic are just so excellent and really make you stop and think. I really loved this section of the story and it was a great conclusion (while still potentially leaving it open for a continuation).

“The key word in ‘female empowerment’ isn’t ‘enlightened anti-patriarchal progressivism,’ Maya. The key word is ‘power.’”

Five stars because I'm literally in love with Emilia. Like we already established that last release.

Goods: Emilia and I have the same kind of humor so I spent the whole time cackling. I liked the thesis a lot: we really WERE put on this Earth to help each other, I love Maya and Billy and I liked that the ending left things open, as cliché as it was, because I would love see more of M.O.M.

Bads: the pacing in #2 and #3 felt off. I think this series should've been longer for the storylines to be solved satisfyingly. And I would've liked it if many of the supporting characters had gotten more development (which is to say: I want MORE 😩).

I really wanted to like this, because I adore Emilia and this whole concept, but it just felt heavy handed :( I think I just need it to be a little more subtle....? Just so that my brain can stretch a bit more.. but I think that for a younger demographic it might be better - just so that young women _and_ men can grow up with these concepts as the norm.

The villain was somewhat interesting, but not explored enough. The ending was quite cliche and could've been better.

Really good ending if she write more of this story I will read it. This was a comic that I will never forget. Pick this up you won’t regret it.

Loved the art of these comics! The story was sweet and had an empowering message for women.
