  COROLLARY #2 Writer: Adam Rose Artist: Robert Ahmad Letters: DC Hopkins Publisher: Source Point Press Release Date: May 18, 2022 Cover Price: $3.99 After some body sharing bickering, the sisters call their parents' captor. They are tired of lying to the galaxy about their Twin Survival Miracle story and only want their mothers back home and the lie in the past. Cass and Andromeda switch and now Cass is in their body and Andromeda is the Ship. Warden Toad says they need at least one more miracle appearance/speaking engagement to raise Mom and Mama's bail. But there are dangers ahead... Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) When 'Corollary' debuted last month, it offered a fun sci-fi fantasy full of colorful characters in an equally colorful world that was bright and awash in watercolors. Adam Rose and Robert Ahmad improve on the engaging first issue with more backstory and new revelations.  We were introduced to a world where twins are common from planets to suns to people. But wh...
