Comments: Eve and her friends are enjoying the fact they saved the Earh and it is now regrowing so the human race has a chance of surviving. Eve's friends are not average, one is her clone, another a murderous robotic teddy bear Wexler, her parents are holograms on a space station.
Eve's clone it turns out is no longer a exact copy of her. Even just looking at the two you see one is taller. The virus is now gone but for the clone it may have changed her in unknown ways.
Eve, her sis and Wexler check out a station to see how it is doing.
The art is amazing as it showcases the world and the people in it. Eve is a teen girl yet you can easily tell she is way mature for her age. She had the weight of the world on her shoulders and she still does. It falls to her to make sure everything is going well.
The people at the station are not grateful to Eve or her companions quite the opposite. So what will Eve do? Lots of tension as it sets up for what is to come.
The issue flies by so fast its over before you know it and you are left wanting more.

Comments: This issue starts out very confusing. It seems to be showing the beginnings.
We see a group of children lead by a child. These children are taking care of Sumers which are humans who changed into something else.
This world has gone to hell and it is up to Eve to bring it back. Her and her sister and Wexler a robotic teddy bear are going around visiting pockets of humans that have survived. The leader of one group is draw as a beautiful woman in her white costume. So one group has their own robot.
This issue is slow and the story in it moves along slowly. Not a lot happens in this issue. There is not much character develpment either.
Both Eve and her sister look great. They are twins yet they do look different. One seems older.
The idea of having a couple girls and a robot save the Earth is a good one. The girls come across as being brave.

Comments: Eve and her Sis have a group of fanatics after them. They took out the teddy bear first to even the odds. Poor Wexler he is one tough little teddy bear. Now what is better than one killer teddy bear well how about two and the second one is even worse than the first.
The world around Eve and her Sister is one that has suffered. The two sisters have given the world a chance now. These two sisters do think differently yet are heroes even if no one knows. Now they have a new threat after them.
As the one sister reminisces you do feel sad for what the original Eve has lost. She lost the chance to live her life as she saw fit.
The story takes on a new twist as this new threat presents itself. Will Eve and her sister along with a defeated Wexler and a group of children be able to stop this threat that could mean the end of humanity as we know it.
The art is beautifully done throughout this issue. The children are drawn acting as adults yet still with the atributes of kids.
This issue does introduce a new character and new story line both of which give this series a new exciting and very dangerous direction.

Comments: The book starts out talking about a place underwater where humans can live.
Now this issue focuses on the new version of humans and the two sisters. In the fight between them Eve is hurt accidentally. Wexler the killer mech teddy bear feels badly and leaves. A group of survivors takes the two sisters in and treats Eve.
Now Eve's sister has no name which is annoying always thinking of her as the sister. When tragedy strikes the new humans step in. Is this a good thing or bad? Only time will tell. Should humans adopt this new form?
The art shows off all the characters beautifully. Eve and her sis are young girls and there are other children around to. No adults are in this issue. The world may in some ways be a better place for it, if children ran it. Thanks to Eve though all people now have a chance.
This issue leaves you wondering where the story is going? A focused direction would be great to see. Eve now she is such a well done character that you will want to read this just to see her.

Comments: The transformed sister does seem to be enjoying her transformation. Her human sister still does consider them sisters and cares about her still. Not a lot is said about what is going on here.
There is little action in this issue. The characters mainly stand around talking.
The poses are not done to show off the characters very well as they could be way better.
Everybody makes nice here. Everybody decides to go out and find themselves. All except for Eve and Wexler. These two started out together so it only makes sense they are together again. So what is next for these two heroes?
The ending here is anti-climatic. Nothing is really solved and all go there own way.
Eve is a beautiful young girl her heart is so big. In this issue we do see that yet she needed to be used more. The story should have focused on her rather than all the characters equally.
Eve exempifies what it means to be a hero.
