Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Omaha and her friends continue their lives and loves in this volume, a collection of comics originally published in the early 1990s. The happy hedonists move forward in their relationships, with some ongoing tensions but with less real drama than in the earlier story arcs. It's really a soap opera, the kind you stick with because you really care about the characters.
It's too bad that events in the authors' lives ended the story here. Back in the 1980s, when the series originated, its warm portrayal of gays and physically disabled characters were groundbreaking, and rarely equalled today. The happy sexuality explored new avenues - decidedly steamy at points, but always cheerful and consensual, and meaningful in the context of the characters' relationships.
The bam-pow macho image of comics could hardly be called girl-friendly. This, with its emphasis on caring and complex characters, takes visual storytelling in a very different direction, however. I recommend this to any thinking reader. Start at the beginning, though. You'll need the context set early on to make proper sense of these later chapters.
