rickjones 's review for:

4.0

Still my favorite comic series around! Nadia and young women of G.I.R.L. continue to be lovable characters with realistic challenges and admirable perseverance and I've grown rather attached to them. 

Nadia's struggles with bipolar disorder are expanded upon in this volume, and displayed with indubitable empathy. Mental illness representation in comics can often be lacking or sensationalized, and I was glad to see not only attention to detail included in this depiction, but positive responses from people on social media who felt represented by Nadia.

I've treasured each issue of this series and the meaning it has to me, and I look forward to the few issues we still have left.
