We are reaching a peak of trouble in this issue when it's discovered Ada is sentient That temporarily resolves itself. Alex’s grandmother passes and the issue is left hanging open. This was a very, very intense issue but really good. If you like stories about Robots, highly recommend this comic.
This is still one of the best ongoing titles out there. Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn do s masterful job of depicting the emotions and struggles of human life, along with utopian visions of androids finding sentience. Great great book.
Ten days have passed since I've read this issue, but OH DANG I'm still startled. I haven't been as wind-up for quite a while. #13, where are you??? I want to read you A.S.A.P.
So much stuff in one issue. How are they able to do that? Amazing.
My favourite comics series so far. I'm sure it stays like that for a long time. *fingers-crossed*
P.S. Last 2 pages gave me goosebumps. What is happening????????? O.o
Chapter 12 "So you're self-aware? You have emotions? Big deal." - Jacob! Bastard!
"But even if there are souls for humans, I'm not sure there are ones for androids." -Ada reflecting on the death of Katherine, Alex's grandmother.
What began as a slow burner progressed to being a truly captivating story. Beautiful, traumatic, painfully unjust, and sweetly romantic. Life, loss, love.
