Notes:
(1) This is about a superhero dating app that's actually a front for intergalactic superhero enslavement.
- The dating app aspect of it's pretty fun but the human trafficking part of it's a real mess.
- You can add Nightwing to the list of superheroes Jessica has a crush on. We already know about Flash.
(2) Seeley's being too cute by half. This may as well be parody.

Notes:
(1) The Annual is definitely the highlight of this book.
- It strikes a nice balance between seriousness and levity that I would have liked for the whole series.
- It's sort of a mystery story where Jessica plays detective and uses her unique experiences and insight to crack the case.
(2) The art reminded me a lot of "Spawn."
- Turns out they share the same colorist.

Notes:
(1) Seeley carries over the last volume's anti-religion message.
- Previously, it was that religious folk are dumb. Here it's that religion's a lie that preys on lonely people, and those who preach it are con artists.
- Jessica: "People only believe in a god so they can have a voice other than theirs tell them they're okay. But it's a lie. It's just their own voice!"

Notes:
(1) The previous book showed two sides of Tim Seeley's writing. As critical as I am of his comedy stories, I'd take it any day over his serious stories, which he seems to believe are rightful megaphones for expressing personal political grievance.
- Sadly, he's nowhere near alone. 2017 is a minefield of politically-driven "resistance" writing. There's no escaping it.
