Already struggling and trying to deal with the stress of hiding Ada, Alex gets a call about his Grandma. She’s very sick and was hiding it from him. He’s again thrown into a place where his emotions spiral. Things go downhill from here. He’s dealing with the loss and confusion as to what comes next when things turn even more dangerous and forces Alex and Ada to run.
I had a feeling it would end a certain way and while it did end that way in one comic, the next one turned out to push it even further. I’m not sure I was totally in love with how it ended though. It seemed a little unrealistic (although very sweet). I almost wanted it to end the way I predicted…
Overall it was a pretty great conclusion. I’m actually a little sad this series is over. Alex + Ada was such a sweet story, a great concept, and the artwork... gorgeous! I know I've mentioned it time and time again, but seriously its simply beautiful!

A lire et à relire. Les dessins sont également vraiment très beaux.
L'intrigue est fort intéressante je recommande fortement ce titre.
Il disegno è un po' scarno, ma la storia è così coinvolgente che ci si abitua subito allo stile grafico.
NB: This contains some spoilers, so if you’ve not read the previous volumes please quit this now and read reviews of Volume 1. As for readers of Volume 1 & 2 I will keep such things to a very bare minimum.
To the story:
The pace and the direction of the previous volumes continues with the same emphasis on quality of intelligent narrative and compellingly understated art.
Now that the A.I restrictions act has been passed and working under Operation Avalanche life for Ada is becoming more difficult with prejudice against all Androids growing and the challenge of keeping her sentient (criminal) status a secret. Alex is a man struggling with issues far beyond any he imagined with his growing love for Ada pushing him way beyond any safety boundaries of his previous withdrawn lifestyle.
Drawn into this are the human lives of his supportive friends Teji & Emily; his colleagues Jacob and Isobel and of course his grandmother.
In support of Ada are those of her own community; in particular in this volume Su & Zelda.
Essentially, as you may assess from the cover, at some stage the couple’s cover is blown and they are on the run from the authorities. And it would not be right to give any more away because of the number of twists and turns the tale takes, suffice it to say there will be a conclusion.
One of the most fascinating aspects of this trilogy is how effective the comparatively passive style of artwork works in complimenting the very intelligent narrative. Quite often there are several panels in which characters simply stand facing each other and engaging in conversation. This seems to be underlying the almost sterile world where ‘phone’ conversations or operations of electrical equipment take place by thought and much in the way of physical menial tasks is undertaken by the android. Then when the action takes place it jolts the reader by its the sudden appearance.
In absence of excessive action, the lack of ‘heroically’ shaped characters and the simplicity of the style much more time and direction can be placed upon the emotions of the various characters and through this highlights the situation. On the whole brings in a very powerful effect at important junctions in the tale. As one example without giving anything away, there is one whole page given over to Su and this leaves the reader in no doubt Su is a living and feeling being who deserves our attention and compassion.
Throughout the narrative Ada grows as a person, as she embraces the sentient status, sometimes told in comic interludes, such as swatting Alex with a pillow, others in the more dramatic when face to face with anger and violence.
Alex meanwhile grows in stature finding depths to challenge the power of The State and also the prevailing social mores; willing to place Ada above all else.
Thus this final part of the trilogy is a turbulent episode; prejudices, insecurity, love, sacrifice, support, defiance, commitment, compassion and tragedy all on display, but not necessarily in that order. And there are also clever but rational twists but no more about those, meeting them is part of the joy of this volume.
If you have Volumes 1 & 2 volume 3 will not disappoint you.
Sarah Vaughn and Jonathan Luna have produced an impressive work whose three volumes will sit well in any graphic collection
