Wow! What a whole heap of weird! 
 (view spoiler)[Though I knew nothing about the story, I picked up this book because the hybrid family on the cover looked awesome, and Brian K. Vaughn is a great storyteller. Little did I know there would be TV-headed royalty, insect-like seductress assassins, entrail-trailing pink teenage ghosts, and intergalactic treehouses. And how excited am I that the green-haired, winged heroine is named Alana??!?! I kind of love seeing my name screamed by a horned goat man in a comic. (hide spoiler)] 
 With all that strange happening, it is impressive that the story still seems to take place in a well-thought out world with multiple layers of politics, history, and life experiences. 
 I'm still not sure what exactly is going on, but I will definitely be reading the next volume.
