Awesome high concept. The execution and the art didn't quite do it for me.

I wanted to enjoy this plot line but simply couldn't for many reasons. The story arc jumped in ways to tie the time frame of London with its detective to the US and it's modern detective in such a choppy manner. Simple editing could have aligned those pieces more easily, allowing room for additional story telling.
Secondly, the bravado of the US detective was unnecessary for as many frames as it was given, and the point could have been made more quickly, or even humorously in fewer frames, again, allowing room for moving the story forward.
While I was drawn in by the fictional time period,a new Ripper on the loose, and juxtaposition of two nations, I just don't think I'll continue with this one.

This is a really fun science fiction mystery with a strong dose of steampunk (even if it's set in the future). What's interesting about the worldbuilding is how it looks both forwards and backwards, because of how history (or even just our perception of history) shapes the world the characters live in.
I was delighted to discover how queer this book is. I wasn't aware of this before reading it, but then I got really excited to watch the central relationship develop. It doesn't disappoint.
My one issue is that the story ends pretty abruptly. I couldn't tell if this was meant to be a miniseries or the first volume of a set. If it's the former, then I think the ending needed a little more room to breathe.
