Ben 10 Early Parole An Adult Comic By --acf-- -

It is a devastatingly human ending for a story about aliens, power, and the loss of innocence. Whether you find it a brilliant work of transgressive art or a disturbing misfire, Ben 10: Early Parole by --ACF-- stands as a powerful, unsettling monument to what happens when fans decide to ask the question the original show never dared to: "What does the Omnitrix do to the soul?"
