Once again, a great issue! I really enjoy the group dynamic. I think Barbalien, Walky-Talkie, and Colonel Weird are my favorite (though Madame Dragonfly is really interesting too).

I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

realmente impressionado, cada personagem tem uma opinião completamente diferente sobre estar preso nessa terra. Opinião diferente, saudade diferente, objetivos diferentes, sentimentos diferentes. Tudo completamente diferente e bem feito.

What a great issue! I find this story to be the best spiritual successor to something like Watchmen. About the only premise that could work and maintain a hint of optimism.
This was Abraham Slams issue. And if I hadn't already read an issue of Southern Bastards prior to this I probably wouldn't be feeling so burned out on old gruff men.
The love triangle with Barbalien is where a lot of my intrigue lies. That and anything to do with Colonel Weird. To me they were the highlights.
I just love this premise so much as is. But that it's actually good and has decent wit (Chtu-LOU) is the plus we all need. Lemire is amazing.
