Arranca muy bien y tiene ideas geniales pero según avanza se va desinflando terriblemente, los últimos capítulos llegaron a aburrirme y creo que no supieron sacarle a esta historia todo el enorme potencial que tenía. Es una pena porque tenía todos los ingredientes para encantarme y se ha quedado en un "meh" de libro.
Para colmo acaba en un bonito cliffhanger Ò_Ó

Really enjoyable book. It is an interesting premise, beautifully executed. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

The story ended in the middle and I can not find much about a continuation.

One of the best comics I've read this year.
Combined a great idea with crazy visuals and the characters genuinely evolve throughout the story.

I don't love the artist on this. It's the same person who drew [b:The New Deadwardians|15797754|The New Deadwardians|Dan Abnett|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360096436s/15797754.jpg|21994677], which I liked, but the art just wasn't jibing for me here.
The story was a good futuristic, dystopian story, and I generally liked all the characters. I don't know that I would pick up a second volume of this, but the author had me sufficiently engaged to get to the end of this (not short) book.

Recent Reads: Brass Sun - Wheel Of Worlds. Ian Edginton and INJ Culbard's graphic novel hides advanced technology in a solar system-sized orrery. The sun is winding down and Wren has the key to rewind it. But a fractured humanity and a malevolent moon are in her way. Clockpunk?

Pretty nice world-building. The story basically boils down to "visit a bunch of exotic steam-punky locations to find pieces of a 'key' while escaping from bad guys." The real draw is the art. The architectural details in the various locations is of a similar quality to the works of [a:François Schuiten|573160|François Schuiten|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1280109949p2/573160.jpg] in the series "Cities of the Fantastic", but the stories here are more understandable. I only know the artist from his work on [b:Wild's End|23492430|Wild's End, Vol. 1 First Light|Dan Abnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1434419967s/23492430.jpg|43082680] (a version of "War of the Worlds" told with anthropomorphic animals standing-in for humans). While I enjoyed that work, the art in this one is several levels more complex, so that I never would have guessed it is the same artist.
Some reviews complain that the human characters are not well-drawn and are difficult to distinguish from one another. I don't agree, but I understand the feeling: the backgrounds outshine the characters.
At one point the main character has a sort-of dream and visits the Moon and talks with "the maker", who looks alternately like Mark Twain, Rod Serling, and Kurt Vonnegut. I can't help but think that is a winking reference to the several times when [b:Cerebus|198464|Church and State II (Cerebus, #4)|Dave Sim|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389626930s/198464.jpg|191979] ascended to the moon and met his maker (played mostly by Jules Feiffer.) Anyway, it makes more sense in this story than it did in Cerebus.
This story could have more chapters, but doesn't end on a cliffhanger, so could be read alone.
