While still processing her feelings about Councilor Marth, Jo tracks down the "riders" who killed Averrup Thorn, and gets the first hint of what's really going on beneath the surface of the City Enduring.

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Oct 06, 2020When all is said and done, Far Sector #8continues to deliver a magnificent story. It both resolves the previous issues cliffhanger and setups up the next storys plot. All this while delivering all the power and emotion you could ask from a powerful lead character. With only four issues left to go, this story has me itching to enter the final leg of the journey.

Graphic Policy - Brett
Oct 06, 2020Far Sector is an amazing series, one of the best of the year. Far Sector #8 delivers another chapter in a police procedural that's infused with socio-politico commentary. This is a series that's "in the now," not afraid to tackle current issues and real-world discussions. Most importantly, it entertains while doing so. With each issue, the series makes the case for "best of 2020." Read Full Review

I really like the plot and the art is otherworldly. Man oh man the dialogue. I get that some teenagers talk like this but hence the word teenagers. These are adults and aliens and they sound like 12 year olds. It makes for a jarring experience and sometimes you just shake your head and just don't like the characters because of it.

Same complaints as always.

The best part of the issue is the George Carlin quote it's named after. The same problem I have had with this series continues here. I'm not invested and I could really use a character that I actually like. Jo is *fine*, but she doesn't really stand out to me. The rest of characters are even worse off. The art is good, even if I wish the artist were given something exciting to do. As far as I'm concerned, Jamal Campbell has been wasted.

I don't know which is worse the writing or the artwork. This book can't be canceled soon enough.
