Alex + Ada vol. 3 by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn

Synopsis: The last thing in the world Alex wanted was an X5, the latest in realistic androids. But after Ada is dropped into his life, he discovers she is more than just a robot. Alex takes a huge risk to unlock Ada so she can think for herself and explore life as a sentient android. As Alex and Ada spend more time together, they become closer. But as restrictions tighten on artificial intelligence, Ada feels unsure about her place in the world, and Alex questions being with an android. 

In this final arc, Alex and Ada struggle against the growing hatred for sentient robots and their human allies. Can they survive what's around the corner?

Collects Alex + Ada #11-15.

Review: Well that was a delightful experience. Alex + Ada is a story that can easily mirror some current events like legalizing gay marriage and rights for immigrants. While it shouldn't take a story about an android to make us understand these things, I think Alex + Ada does a great job of making us question what makes someone human and the validity of certain relationships. There were parts of this particular volume that I saw coming, but it still drove the story home. It's also a good story about love and what you are willing to risk for that love. There were some parts that I wish were explained a bit more, but if you're looking for a short, sweet comic series, I would highly recommend this one.
