The art work looks good, but the story does not appeal to me. It isn't making me want to buy the second volume. But if you want a quick read, this is something.

Everything is very graphic (what with it being an adult comic book) but it all comes across as humourous, as opposed to particularly dark/grim. Definitely 18+

For the first trade in an ongoing comic series, it was nice to just have all the chapters in one. But I can't wait to start volume 2 and reserve 3-10 at the library!
