Wow.. the artwork was mindblowing, the premise of the story fascinating, and i loved that it featured a gay couple.

Could not put it down... and could not stop gaping in awe at how talented Elvin is.

Mind
Blown.

What an amazing short graphic novel. I love how the story has an unconventional take. The illustrations are really, really amazing especially for the fighting scene. I’m a bit unsure if I interpreted the ending correctly but I enjoyed this!

beautifully illustrated with the kineticism of fight scenes coming to life under Elvin's pencils. story is simple but effective, though the ending is not easy to figure out.
