This was a hard one to write a review for, namely because overall, the comic held very little appeal for me. Unlike other comics, however, it was not due to being un-family friendly, or horrid artwork, or vulgarity. Quite the contrary I found the artwork to be quite good (if not somewhat familiar - I think a lot of the webcomic artists out there went to the same courses and learned their trade). The lines are clean and crisp, and the comic itself well laid out and smooth. On that note, though, I have to say I didn’t care for the dialogue lettering. It looked far too much like someone had taken a comic strip and did cut/paste from a word processor. Something about it just didn’t match up with the artwork, and that kept drawing my eye away from the comic proper.

The second negative for me (which was NOT the artist’s fault by any means) was the sheer volume of comics to go through. There’s a lot here, and since most of it seems to be exposition and setting, that translated into a lot to slog through.

Would I recommend the comic to others? Absolutely. I didn’t find anything to not recommend it. Would I go back and re-read it or follow it? Probably not. I’m more of an action type, myself.

All I can say is, give it a go and see what you think!

For things about the comic that I, personally didn’t like and were mainly attributed to my own tastes, I give the comic 3 stars. Rating:
