Great story and art was mostly fantastic. I was a little annoyed that the bandage was not consistently drawn; occasionally no bandage was drawn and at other times it was drawn on the wrong hand. Additionally during a ‘big reveal' the left hand was drawn rather than the right even though it was culturally significant that her tattoo be on the right arm. I'm gonna blame the editor rather than the artist.

Also at least twice I had to go back and check to see if it was the main character or her new friend that was in the panel.

Thought it was super odd that the barracks were co-ed.

Great themes about identity, (racial & national), belonging, and commitment.
