Growing Pains by Robert Kirkman
3.0

I love some of this volume. Not all. GOT IT!? NOT ALL! Fuck...I can't wait to get off work and see Rogue One. Okay here we go.

The first half of this volume is great. You get to see Nolan and Allen being best fucking buds, and they are goddamn it! They slap a few aliens around, try to rally up the troops, and begin to work against the evil empire. Soon they will recruit Mark but not before Mark must come to face who he really is.

We get Mark figuring things out a little different. Killing is right or wrong? That's the theme of his arc here. It deals with it in interesting ways. Not amazingly but not terrible in any way. It's just okay. It ask the same question, the squid people are boring as shit, and I wasn't really feeling the little recap issue of previous events.

Overall it was a solid volume, especially first half, but nothing special. ON TO THE WARRRRR! NOT STAR WARS...But that too. Okay goodnight.
