This whole issue is dedicated to the story of the Jacks from the previous issue. They deal with crushes, friendship, reality and when exactly it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to leave a town. One of the Jack\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is set on leaving, while the other has known for a little while that he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to go (mostly because of a crush on a girl) but hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t made that information known. Gah, every time I think of a point I want to make I realize that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ruining something about the comic, and I enjoyed this so thoroughly that everybody should be able to read it without much of a preconceived notion, or so the logic goes in my brain, anyway. Francois bemoans the fact in the back of this that it took almost a year to get this issue out, but sometimes that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good thing. There are layers and layers of meaning here and the art has made another leap forward. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a pretty through synopsis to start things off, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the end of the world if you missed the last issue. Absolutely, positively essential reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_wpsc_stock":"5","_wpsc_price":"4","_wpsc_special_price":"4","_wpsc_sku":"","footnotes":""},"product_tag":[],"wpsc_product_category":[4747,5731],"wpsc-variation":[],"class_list":["post-20225","wpsc-product","type-wpsc-product","status-publish","hentry","wpsc_product_category-comics","wpsc_product_category-francois-vigneault"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product\/20225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/wpsc-product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product\/20225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=20225"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc_product_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc_product_category&post=20225"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc-variation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc-variation&post=20225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
