I received a digital arc of this book through NetGalley for review purposes.
I have mixed feelings about this story.
To start with the good, the art is moody and in many panels beautiful, the premise is interesting, and the monsters the cast faces are scary. I did like some of the main characters—Julia and her story line in particular were standouts. However, it's hard to create a graphic novel with this many characters, this much world building and this quick of pacing and not lose something in the process.
We got to see a bit of background about many of the characters, but it was hard to get attached to any of them or get a sense of their personalities with the pace the story was moving at. I also felt that the ending was disjointed, and a bit rushed. Kole's characterization specifically shifted a lot without a lot of set up toward the end. There's also one section of the book where the art style completely changes (I'm assuming due to creative turnover on the art team) which was a bit jarring.
Overall I was interested, but not totally satisfied with the follow through.

Day 156: Not really sure how I felt about this one. It seemed short on actual story. I May pick up issue two if I remember to.
