The first volume managed to win me over with its straightforward metaphor for teen alienation (the teenager is an alien!), but this volume just fritters away that goodwill by setting off on a road trip that descends into pure gibberish. I read all the words scattered across the page, but did not enjoy a second of it.

I was surprised to see a "next issue" blurb at the bottom of the last page, because the ending to the story sort of felt like an ending to the series. Well, it will be for me at show more least. show less

Throughout the first chapter I was regretting picking this up at the library, but somehow the weirdness won me over. I think any parent of a teenager would be sympathetic with the notion that teens are possessed by aliens.

A space alien possesses a comatose high school girl, then has to figure out how to fit in on Earth. Also there is madness and alien poetry. The art style and the story are trippy and confusing...yet intriguing.

Good introduction to a new character and a vibrantly designed world

First volume down. Definitely continuing the rest. Heard so much about this over the last year and I’m glad I finally decided to check it out.
