I still feel like I want to like this more than I do, but I just don’t believe the alien war thing is going to matter whether it happened or not. The glimpses of reality-bending scenes are supposed to be showing us the real bad guys making Slade question reality, but it ends up making me do the same. But as I said, it doesn’t seem like it will matter what’s real and what isn’t, because this story is all over the place anyway.

I really, really enjoyed the art, but the story is bizarre and not well organized.
