Alex + Ada Volume 3 Review

Alex + Ada, Volume 3. Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn. 2015. Image Comics. 136 pages.

Rating: 5/5

I felt that volume 3 was a great end to this series. It continues the wonderful relationship between Alex and Ada. There is a split in the story though, with part of it focusing on that relationship and part of it dealing with the consequences of their actions throughout the series.

The social commentary throughout the series is one of my favorite aspects. This volume takes it to the extreme, which makes it both potent and potentially off-putting. Rather than blending into other parts of the story, it takes center stage for a large portion of the book. I enjoy the way the book wraps up. It was a natural way to conclude this story and is rather touching.

I loved the art again. One thing I particularly enjoyed was looking back over the series and seeing how certain sequences are reconstructed throughout. They aren't exact reproductions, but they are very similar and add to the tone of the series.

Anyone that has made it through the first two volumes should pick this up.
