As Seneca investigates an attack by the church on the digital alter-realm known as the Stream, his world is turned upside down by the emergence of the resistance—a group sworn to oppose the sinister Rulers and all they stand for. And when tragedy strikes, Seneca is forced to enter the wiretapped world of the Fates, who use predictive analytics to foresee his ultimate fate!

The futuristic view of the greek mythology is mind blowing, Apollo, the pain in the neck know it all, and the fates.
This is promissing!

Issue two was another mindfuck but damn, every reference to Ancient Greece and bringing Classical...everything into a digital/futuristic age makes me want to flop down and squee.

I enjoyed issue #1 but what kept that love from issue #2 was Seneca's inability to do anything but complain about how ignorant he felt. I counted six or seven incidents where Seneca was asked to do something or to share his opinion and all he could accomplish is "I don't understand why this is happening to me" and while that's a fair thing for a protagonist to feel, you only need to share it with the reader once. The reader is not stupid and does not need to be beat over the head multiple times start-to-finish with the point. By the third incident, I found Seneca annoying and that's not a good thing for a protagonist to be. Even other characters were asking Hermes why he/it selected this detective and I found myself agreeing with them. Seneca is useless and I want him to be useful. I can't recall a time in the past where I was so frustrated with a protagonist, and it was likely because of how much promise issue one had. :/
