I would say 3 and 1/2 stars because the first part was really all over the place and then they *kinda* won immediately, I guess, but the last section was really fun to read and had some nice moral quandries.
I have very conflicting emotions on this series. But... Creating indifference is the cardinal sin of any storyteller, and I am definitely not indifferent to the messages in this story.
Rick Remender is clearly trying to cope with extreme depression, nihilism, low self esteem and workaholism. There are a lot of really interesting philosophical ideas underpinning this complex and confusing narrative, both subtle and not-so-subtle.
I may have to let it sit for a few days before I decide, but I'm not sure all the messages landed well with me. That could be intentional of course, and that in itself is the value of good storytelling... Challenging your view of the world.
A complex, sometimes convoluted, series that will linger in your brain.

FANTASTIC! Must read, must own! Truly a thrilling ride - heartwarming, philosophical, humorous - a brilliant sci-fi adventure tale that weaves in the universality of what it means to be alive in this universe...or another one. What a ride!
