It is cool when you have a goddess who ends up being ace. :)

The Perseid meteor shower is about to arrive and the Lumberjanes are all set to view this gorgeous celestial event. However, as always, some wander off on their own adventure, this time centered around aliens and relationship advice. The rest of the Lumberjanes meet a new goddess and must track down the magical cat she kidnaps!
While still sweet and filled with charm, the overarching thread is somewhat lost in this volume.

Ever since Time After Crime’s story focused approach, I felt the series was lacking. I wanted more engaging fantasy elements or a return to character growth. This one delivered and is probably my favorite volume now. The fantasy element is so fun and the Zodiacs are back. I’m found myself finally able to enjoy reading a lumberjanes volume again.
Art: The style is very simple but grew on me over time. However the panels are very lively, so the art ends up being pretty good. There’s always something going on in the art. It made me want to stop and appreciate it so I could see everything. The visual comedy was also really good in this. Which I think is key to a good comic. While the style does look a little fugly sometimes the composition is just really fun and embraces being a comic.
Character: This volume was more focused on the Zodiacs, even though the lumberjanes were present the whole time. I love seeing the Zodiacs, and seeing some character development from almost all of them was a nice surprise. I love Hes’s side plot as well. The way it ended made me smile a lot. Emily I thought would just be there to move the plot along and make jokes, but genuinely had a good little arc too. And now the lumberjanes. I like April a lot more in this volume. She’s not just there for comedy. While I still don’t like her very much, they at least gave her something to do, and didn’t make me annoyed like in Birthday Smarty. I also like how they expanded on character moments between Mal and Molly, whose relationship kinda just seemed to be in the background sometimes. Finally I also love Freyas character she’s really fun. I like how the comic has been trying to use its characters. Giving them more arcs and moments instead of just being there to move the plot. They seem way more like a team now.
Story: It’s not the most complicated or plot based adventure like Time After Crime, but what it does have is some nice little arcs and a fun adventure. I really enjoyed all the arcs here, which I think is crucial to having a good adventure story. This volume made me really happy, it was just so cute. I also love the mythology elements and I was glad to see them return. The comedy in this was better than usual too. It’s just a fun adventure with some great characters.

I really thought we were going to get back to the overriding mystery of the camp at the end of the last volume, but alas we are not. However, I did really enjoy the variety of shenanigans in this volume and I actually found myself laughing through some parts of it. The art actually fit the vibe for once, so even though I am still annoyed at how often the art changes in this series, I enjoyed it. Also Diane is a treat of a character so any time we get more of her I am happy.

This books so much fun! The Zodiacs are a great group that really complement the Roanokes. Between the alien hunt and the goddess fight, there was action galore. And the "camp couple" take a big step.
