I love the blend of urban crime setting with fantasy themes. The first issue was all set up but now we're getting into it properly and there's a lot going on. We've got immortal bugs and unkillable villains, with some hectic action sequences. Very dramatic.
The artwork is okay; I really like the style and the colouring but sometimes the action is a little hard to follow.
I'm invested in the story now but I think I'd like to get the collection when it releases. Will I be able to wait til then to read the rest? Hmm.
Either way, a fantastic, unique story that'll keep you hooked.
