I re-read all of these in the summer while blitzkrieging for a game. I still find myself feeling about the same for the Farscape franchize comics/graphic novels as I ever did. They are sometimes well written, but the art is really sad (because I just love the show and actors so much). Some of the stories meander too much, and Aeryn's ending still gets to me in a way where I don't absolutely agree that's where she should have ended up. But it was a fun summer reread.

I used to really be into the Farscape television series so I got Vol1 on a whim. I found the start of this series intriguing enough that I not only grabbed Vol2 but also began hunting down the other Farscape comics AND binge-watched chunks of the series. I love writing like that, leaving you hungry for more (so long as there's a satisfactory ending at some point, of course).

I've always loved Scorpius as a character. I'm fairly certain he is my favorite villain of all time--if he is a villain at all...
It was really interesting to see how he went from being banished from Hyneria, to leading part of the attack on the Uncharted Territories for the Kkore. In the main arc of the Farscape comics this transition isn't explained, and you're left to wonder what schemes he orchestrated in order to survive. In this comic you learn about his journey, and it's very well done--more complex and deep in character development than I expected.
I'm always interested to see glimpses of Scorpius's past--to see what horrible things molded him into his present self. The tie-in and irony of the Kkore Mnemos Device so strongly resembling Scorpius's very own Aurora Chair was a great touch. I also really enjoy his cute little pet named John--it seems to represent that there is still a tiny gooey center inside Scorpius's frozen, black heart--and maybe also some sort of genuine respect/appreciation for John Crichton.
