Ok, this series just continues to be absolutely amazing. I seriously can't believe that beautiful balance that exists here between hilarious dialogue, gorgeous illustrations, and a brilliant storyline. I'll admit that this series isn't all fun and games. There's a lot of deep mythology surrounding Angela's existence, after all she is technically an Asgardian. Plus, Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett aren't afraid to touch on a lot of topics that are important to our current society. They just do it in a way that makes for quite a ride, every single issue.

This particular issue really pushes into the forefront the reason why Angela and Sera are on their particular quest. I kept wondering why they would put themselves so at risk. Why they would be willing to lose one another, again, for the sake of this child. Now that I know? Well, I'm on their side. Apparently so are the Guardians of the Galaxy, who do make a cameo in this issue. I LOVE Gamora, so this made me happy.
