A great issue. I'm loving this arc, even if I sent the writers a grumpy email about how insane it is that in the future, marijuana is still illegal and the guy was fined for having pot. It's fully legal where I live, so it ruins the realistic future setting when suddenly their laws aren't even caught up with IRL laws. But besides that, when drugs are an issue in the comic, they handle it well. I liked when they talked about how prohibition only makes drug problems worse, and that when the cop worked the streets of Earth, he would provide clean needles and counseling instead of arresting addicts.

I'm trade wating this one so I didn't read all of your comments, but i'm glad the second arc is good. I'm having a hard time waiting as vol 1 was great for me.
