I'm going to be honest with you guys I can't tell you ENOUGH how good catching up on the current Aphra run has been for me and my love of comics.

Like I wasn't in a slump before or anything like that but this is a modern run with essentially all of the elements myself (and other comic book fans around me) have been asking for for so long.

Like it's truly amazing to me. Firstly, the characters are SO morally complex and at the same time just SO queer. Like very few of the characters in this book are ones I would even begin to consider good people. They murder people for money, backstab their friends and lovers, and steal precious artifacts. Yet they all have different relationships to morality and to each other. Some characters are simply ambitious and awful, willing to sacrifice anyone for their own success. Others are the same, but are either forced into similar situations or will act unpredictability against this for love. Others have grown more past this mindset, trying to make a living while doing the best they can and looking out for those they care about. And this isn't the whole spectrum! Each character has a different set of beliefs and values that while appearing similar, can change or become tested by those around them and their relationships with each other!

Like all of the characters in this book are SO compelling + complex and SO queer. It's also just so intensely INTERESTING to boot! Like I know big 2 fans generally stick to the universe they know and smth like star wars is a divorce from that but like. This comic is so good and I very much think there are comics people on here who would love it if they decided to read it : )
