Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Well, that could be the title to this volume.    This is composed of two different stories, and each deals with a different mental illness, and each does so in a respectful manner which just shows sympathies for, well, everyone.   And nothing is lost: the action, the humor, the warmth, the brilliant characterizations, it's all there. 

I teared up a couple times, to be honest.   And while I especially loved what was done with The Purple Man - who was revealed as the villain early on in the first issue of his arc - in a way I was more struck with the way mental health issues were written about.    It wasn't as a gimmick for a character, like Typhoid Mary, or to make a villain, but rather as something that was simply part of someone who could act very heroically, even just when dealing with mental illness. 

Well done, empowering, and I'm grateful to this collection for that.
