Reviews

[James B · Rating 4 out of 5]

a very good, but a very short comic

[F. P. · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's a short comic with simple art in this; the comic's story is good, but it doesn't really have an ending. There's a bunch of back matter beyond it.

Interestingly, the cover indicates the book's been adapted for audio. This is the first time I've seen that on a comic. I think I got this one for free, so if anyone wants or physically needs to hear a comic, maybe you can try this one.
