The smash-hit ongoing epic continues! Thanks to her star-crossed parents Marko and Alana, newborn baby Hazel has already survived lethal assassins, rampaging armies, and alien monstrosities, but in the cold vastness of outer space, the little girl encounters something truly frightening: her grandparents!
This is Volume two of the series, and volume 1 is reviewed here.
Alana, Marko and Hazel are on their ship, searching for their ghost babysitter Izabel – the one with the torso and no legs – who has been banished to another dimension by Marko’s parents. The story chops and changes with the timelines, and also from different view points. This includes Marko as a child and Marko and Alana’s courtship (and her reading from a rather trashy book from an author called D Oswald Heist). Marko’s mother goes with him to search for Izabel, whilst his father, Barr, stays with Alana and Hazel. Alana doesn’t trust her father in law, but his actions during the book make her come to trust him – somewhat.
Meanwhile, one of Marko’s exes (Gwendolyn) has teamed up with Lying Cat and The Will to hunt the family down, coming too close for comfort. Just so you know….THIS is Gwendolyn! (right)
Meanwhile, Prince Robot IV (the one with a monitor for a head) visits D Oswald Heist in hopes that the writer may hold some clue as to where his fan may have fled to – leaving the book in another cliff hanger!
Lovely artwork, there is some sexual content in it (so perhaps not right for too young readers) but beautifully rendered
