Rigo is a young woman of her time: specifically, the time just after the collapse of Earth. After living her whole life on a small space station orbiting the planet, the cultural norms and rules of her Californian parents are just history to her. In between work shifts at the station air farm, Rigo explores her own desires, developing openly polyamorous relationships with her friends and crewmates. When she starts to feel one of those relationships change, however, Rigo must balance her new feelings with the stability of her other relationships, as well as the hard-earned camaraderie of a small crew floating in the vastness of space.… (more)

I like the sex-positive, poly aspects of this story, but it lacked a lot in the backstory. Also, there's something kind of empty in it? Like Rigo is searching for her thing and is substituting with sex -- and ok, fair, why not? But I hope she finds more to life. ( )

Cute graphic novel about relationships on a floating space station holding Earth's survivors. Something felt a little forced, but I enjoyed the fresh approach and diverse characters. ( )

Kinda simple, but it's great to read a really positive poly story! ( )

This was an interesting read. Young adults, trying to find their place in society. A story of all ages, all generations... ( )

Well, this was about the most sex positive issue of Archie comics ever. It's the one where Betty is okay that Archie has sex with Veronica, Veronica is okay that Betty has sex with Archie, and Archie is okay that Betty and Veronica have sex. And boy do they have a lot of sex.

On the space station California, polyamory is the new norm for the first generation of people to be raised on board. Rigo worries that she is in danger of reverting to her parents' icky monogamy because she wants to partner with one of her several lovers in an open relationship.

There is sex, there is angst, there is diversity, and it all amounts to about as much as an average Archie comics: sort of fun, kind of cute, nothing much to dwell on. ( )
