In an attempt to move on with her new life, Shade decides she must separate her head from her heart - literally. Meanwhile, River gets caught up in an anti-alien league, while a familiar force visits vengeance upon Valley Ville's residents.
The emotional depth and complexity of this issue is a perfect example of why Young Animal Comics are unique in their approach to story telling. It's wonderful to see comics produced in this way.

The emotional resonance with this book is unparalleled. Read Full Review
