This comic has great potential. Only the time will show if it evolves to something very exciting, or de-evolve into something utterly frustrating.

The end of this issue is making me desperate for the next one to come out. I hate that I have to wait a full month! Okay, now that I’ve gotten my whining out of the way…
This series is so pretty. At least, the virtual world is pretty. The real world is a bit less so…but the artwork for it is still exceptionally done. The virtual world is where the artwork truly shines through. Our main character and her new allies get to take on their preferred looks, all while surrounded by fantastic monsters, bright backdrops, and even brighter details in the foregrounds. It’s striking.
I’m looking forward to learning more about what is going on here. I have a basic understanding, but I’m dying for more details on the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of it all. The conclusion to this issue was a good way to ensure that we’ll come back for the next one…though it may have been a touch mean.

I'm excited to see where this is going. After two issues,

The good: Cyberpunk superheros fighting an invisible war in a virtual realm. Yes, I will read that. Also, the art is amazing and it seems like the world is fully thought out.

The not as good: There is SO much exposition, and there's a lot of the protagonist asking questions and getting long, information dense answers from the other characters.

I'm hopeful once it gets through the introduction of characters and background the story will move forward, because there's a lot of interesting stuff to unpack.

I find the story really incomprehensible to understand.

A lot of stuff happens but a LOT more questions pop up than get answered

It’s a no-brainer, really–this series has everything I love. Science fiction, strong female leads, bright colours with a gritty realism, intrigue, and cliffhangers. The dystopian world the story is set in is one that is easy to imagine in our foreseeable future. Adverts everywhere you look because you have nanotech in your eyeballs, a holographic AI popping up to tell you things, oh, and an entire digital world, pseudo-superheroes, and the monsters they fight. That last bit is less foreseeable.
