I loved this book so much! I honestly hope that it’d be collected in a deluxe or an oversized edition (I’d totally get that!). I love this story and world a lot it’d be a crime not to own a physical copy of it.

“That’s the trouble with happy endings, isn’t it? They’re more like beginnings.”

“There’s more to a story than how it ends. This world ain’t a tidy place.”

“We do well for ourselves when we do well for others.”

A SHORT STORY IN AN ANTHOLOGY!!!! I almost missed it oh my god!!!! I knew the writer had said that Alice’s origin story would be a three-ish issues but I didn’t expect it to be released in an image anthology!!!! I can’t wait to read it.

I enjoyed reading the essays in this issue and the one before it. Samantha Cross’ essays/analysis of the story were so interesting to me. Now I’ll go and look for any news regarding the next volume.

Can I just say how much I love the character designs? They’re so good. Especially Sissy as Death! Her design is wonderful! And all of the 3 reapers too: the reaper of hunger, the reaper of thirst, and the reaper of obsession. I love how different and diverse their shapes (and shadows) are! So cool!

I love this so, so much. I’ve enjoyed reading Clara’s story, the decision to make her the narrator in the final issue was so clever. I can’t wait for the next volume, it’s going to be good. I don’t understand Ginny’s obsession with Alice, I have a feeling that there’s something more to it that whatever we saw at the story. Did Alice train her? How did they meet? I have a lot of questions.

I think this might be my favorite volume so far. It’s so good! (Or I might’ve become attached to these characters over the course of reading this story, who knows?) I don’t want to finish reading this volume (BUT I MUST) I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

I love the pink coloring of that issue, so good!
