Reviews

[Kristin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I continue to be completely baffled by the plot. About the halfway point of the issue, I thought I was done, but then there was a good chunk of pages that made more sense to me than anything else I'd read in this issue or the previous one. Not enough to raise my review from two stars, but enough to both keep it out of one-star territory (for me) and to ensure that I will actually read issue #3 (since we already have a copy).

Farel is a phenomenal artist. This is part of an entire strange world he has built but you get a proper introduction to all the characters. The strangeness of the action outweighs the violence by a good bit.
