I really wished this was a finished galley. I was really into the story and the art, but on page 58 the words disappeared and we only had the art. The art is amazing and so is the colorist, but there is too much going on to figure out from the pictures alone. Around page 74 we loose the color and only have the black and white frames. This is okay, and I still like the artwork, but as mentioned before, you can not follow the storyline. The story line as I followed is a Scare city is full of monsters who have created their own polite society and is breaking down as people are killed with a strange light. Our main character is a zombie mom who is kind of funny. She wants to figure out what is happening and save her community. Her vampire husband has to go back to scaring when the bakery profits slow down because of the strife. I really do look forward to seeing the final version of this graphic novel.
