The plot is quite interesting, but maybe this is only the first issue in the series that's why the important points were not explain further. I would still try to check the second installment of this once released and let's see if it will change my view about this.

Interesting concept but...
The concept of this comic is very interesting but lacks explanation on some major plot points. Also, it tells the story of a few different characters who don't seem to be related. All they have in common is one experience, which makes the characters less likable.
I'm hoping they will explore more of these characters as well as explain not only why this is happening, but most importantly, why it's a problem that needs to be stopped.
Great comic overall.

I'm usually not into books that are too scary or with too much unexplained, but for some reason I really enjoyed this. I don't know if it was the color pencil type drawings with ton of shading. Or if it maybe was so many characters with clearly connecting stories but I really wanted to know more. All of the cliffhangers happening with the different characters felt really interesting and compelling. I definitely want to get my hands on more of this series sometime in the future.

Average color artwork,an image freebie. Slow moving and atmospheric. The first scene is un pleasent. The researcher is unsavory. The nun is long suffering.

This comic book offers an intriguing premise that delves into the complexities of human transformation and societal upheaval. At the same time this comic book introduces us as readers to a world on the brink of dramatic change, where evolution takes a dark and unexpected turn.
The narrative in this comic book is ambitious, weaving together multiple storylines that converge around a mysterious biological phenomenon. The creators of this comic book collaborate to create a tapestry of interconnected plots that span different locations and perspectives. This multi-layered approach adds depth to the story, offering a broad view of the global impact of the evolutionary changes. However, the complexity of juggling several narratives in one comic book can sometimes lead to a lack of clarity and focus
The character development in this comic book is a pretty mixed bag. While some characters are introduced with strong, distinctive voices, others feel underdeveloped due to the scattered focus of the narrative. This could potentially dilute the emotional impact, as readers may struggle to form a connection with the characters amidst the rapidly shifting scenes.
The pacing in this comic book is another area where the comic faces challenges. With multiple storylines unfolding simultaneously, this comic book occasionally feels rushed, with abrupt transitions that can disrupt the narrative flow. Some scenes end just as they begin to build momentum, leaving readers wanting more context and development. A more streamlined approach might have allowed for deeper exploration of the characters and their circumstances.
The artwork in this comic book is a huge highlight of this comic book. Because the illustrations effectively capture the eerie and unsettling atmosphere that permeates the story. The artists employ a gritty and detailed style, using shadow and contrast to enhance the sense of dread and tension. The depiction of the biological transformations is particularly striking, showcasing the grotesque beauty of the evolving humans.
Despite its challenges, this comic book succeeds in setting the stage for an intriguing exploration of human evolution and its consequences. The ambitious scope and thematic depth hold promise for future issues, where the narrative might find its footing and offer more cohesive storytelling. The potential for rich character development and dramatic twists makes it a series worth following

It was mental. The art was too dark for me and I’m having a hard time trying to understand the story. I have to give it to them because the artists were really talented but it was not just for me.
I would like to thank Image Comics for sending me an ARC!
