I think it's pretty obvious that each installment into this series is getting an automatic five stars from me, no questions asked. While a lot of great bits fall on the chopping block during the translation from podcast to comic, it's still a great adaptation that'll appease both old and new fans. Honestly, it's probably a good thing not everything is crammed into a single volume, as it would give new fans who come in through the comic something new as they check out the source material. 

Kravitz's design is on point, Killian and Carey's relationship remains adorably wonderful, and I'm glad certain aspects of the story are a little bit more polished now that there's the advantage of having the whole story to work with. The ending hits different once you've already seen all the pieces.

And lastly
if we don't get to see Taako and Kravitz's date at the Chug N' Squeeze at the end of the next volume or at the beginning of The Suffering Game volume, I'm going to riot.
