YES!!!

I've been waiting months to read volume 2 through my library but went ahead and bought it, and I'm so happy I have volumes 1 & 2 in my collection. Apart from how much I love the diversity of the characters, the time spent learning about their backstories, and seeing the depth of their friendship, it's so refreshing to read sci-fi through the perspective of a bunch of female characters. Have I been waiting my whole life for this? YES!!!

I read volume 1 shortly after watching Stranger Things (which I absolutely adore) and was obviously on a kick of stories about friendship, nerds, the 80s, and aliens. Volume 2 doesn't skip a single beat and picks up right where volume 1 left off and leaves you pining for volume 3. Vaughan writes time travel incredibly well, and leaves just enough unanswered to keep you wondering what will honestly happen next. First we had dinosaurs, now giant waterbears fighting in downtown Cleveland, now what?

I love this series, I love women & girls who don't take shit and protect each other, and I love Brain K. Vaughan for continuing to craft such complex characters, fascinating worlds, and intense storylines.
