And I'm going to start off with something: this is really super sexist.   It starts with the way the boobs are drawn, and goes through to how Dragon - and the men around him for the most part - treat the women.   They talk about them like their objects, they treat them like disposable sex partners later on, and I'm saying this way, way deep into this series.  It bothers me, like, a lot. 

And I'm still not knocking down any stars because this series is addictive and started to drag me out of my depression.   I also read a lot more of this in black and white, and it's weird: the main character is green and color is important in this series, but I prefer the art in black and white, although I feel like I should be more attached to the color in this series. 

Holy shit, guys, this is a soap opera.   If you could write a soap opera it would be this.   I'm like laughing at myself; it's so ridiculous, and it pokes fun at other comics while, I feel, showing a great respect for them.   This parodies the soap opera aspects of comics, in my opinion, without diminishing the way that I become involved in these character's lives.   It's quite a delicate balancing act, and I've read a book that's shorts of other people writing these characters. I just wasn't as connected because something was missing from that balance.  

A green-skinned naked man with a fin on his head waked up in the middle of fire, unharmed and with amnesia that left memories of his life gone while all practical knowledge of the world intact.   When Chicago police officer Frank Darling finds and rescues this man, the question is what to do with him: people like him, with powers or differences, are known as 'freaks', and even the man named Dragon will call himself a freak in the end.   Most freaks are supervillains and Chicago is being overrun, the police and rare superhero are losing the battle against Chicago's biggest gang, the Vicious Circle.   Superheroes whose identities are revealed are being beaten and killed. 

Dragon is nearly invulnerable, and super strong, and could be a boon to the police force, but all he wants to do is live his life without any complications.   When he's hired by Frank's family member, and allowed to live in the upper floor, he's happy enough - until the Vicious Circle targets Fred. 

Dragon is welcomed by most into the police force, although some officers are bigots.   It's pretty much the story of how Dragon joins the police force.   It's also a nice little parody of comics, especially the soap opera aspects in my opinion.  

And it's a hell of a lot of fun.   Even the despicable way women are treated doesn't diminish my love of this, but no media is perfect and I strongly believe in loving something problematic, even loving it deeply, and also calling it out on its shit. 

I'm addicted, guys.

The Earth’s days are numbered, and aliens are looting the planet. 

Faro is a Drakeborne Knight, a product of dragon and human DNA. He came to Earth on a mission to save his people and Faro thought he’d return to Iradia as a conquering hero, but then he meets Amy. Inexplicably, he’s drawn to her. Faro fears he inherited more than enhanced abilities. Dragons have fierce, unbreakable bonds with their mates. And now, Faro is torn between love and loyalty. 

Since her father’s untimely death, Amy has been grief stricken, and every day is a struggle, until she meets Faro, a stranger staying at her inn. He’s not like other men, and eventually, she discovers Faro is an empath from another world. He lifts her burdens, brings her joy, but the secrets he’s keeping threaten to tear them apart. 

Can Amy forgive him? And will they save both their planets?
