Planetary consistently keeps showing up on my recommended feed, so on that alone I decided to pick this up. If Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is insistent on the fact that I have to read this book, that's a good thing right? You couldn't be further from the truth. I was confused with this graphic novel, the storyline felt like it could have something special but ultimately didn't deliver. I really like Elijah Snow, everyone else I could do without. I really didn't develop a connection with them and in the end, I didn't care if they lived or were killed off.

The artwork is okay, nothing special, but it serves its role quite well enough. From time to time some of the story would be intriguing but then it felt like it fell flat. Toward the end of this volume the storyline seemed to pick up some consistency which leaves me in a situation of trying to decide if I will continue this series or not. There isn't much to compel me in moving forward with it, but I may - time will be the judge of that.

What this book gets right: Elijah Snow I was intrigued with his character and the lack of backstory.

WHat this book gets wrong: Pretty much everything else, especially The Drummer, I think he annoyed me just about as much as it does Snow. The story was not compelling enough for me to want to continue with the series.
