's review

really liked it
bookshelves: fantasy, graphic-novel, non-ya, sci-fi, recommend, reviewed

Honestly, graphic novels are usually a snooze for me. Half-baked plotlines, underdone characters, attempts at themes that are raw in the middle. (I was running out of cooking expressions.)

But this one...ruled.

It's not necessarily that the characters are fully fleshed out (they aren't) or that there's a wholly satisfying story here (there is not). What there is: Action. Adventure. A cool and unique world. Graphic images. Violence. Babies. Graphic language. Boobs. Something that looks like if Anya Taylor-Joy was half spider.

What more could you want?

Bottom line: So much fun!

what a way to start!


message 17: by The Bibliopossum (new)

The Bibliopossum I'm glad to read you enjoyed the first volume. The good news is that there are currently 8 more volumes to explore if you want to continue following this story. The bad news is the series is currently on hiatus and has been for over two years, so if you finish the latest volume before the story resumes, there's gonna be a wait.

Update on the hiatus: Vaughan and Staples are confirmed to be working on the story again. There is no set date for issues to resume, but that's some good news.

that is indeed!


Aprille in Texas I have several single issues sitting here waiting to be read. I think I’d prefer the volumes. I did notice 2-3 new issues out the last couple of months.
