Not much to say except that this book made me UNCOMFORTABLE.
I don't usually ever feel that way with books--but golly, this book just CREEPED.ME.OUT!
It gets a star for the actual drawings--every character has a unique look but they're all way too attractive at times. ( I honestly think that they were put there purely for the reason of fan-service). But every character is detailed and well, everything shows what needs to be shown...but sometimes, it was just creepy with the way the androids were shown and just...ugh.
It's SUCH a dark book. Cannibalism, emotional detachment, violence...it just went too far for me. I could hardly understand their tech-talk, I didn't understand why all the humans from their base had to be killed including their creator, and just...for me...I was very confused and frightened while reading this. It's probably just me personally because apparently the people who read it and reviewed it liked it...but for me...it's a side of Marvel where they try to take on teens or something...but it has neither the light-heartedness or character ties of Runaways although we do have an attractive African-American, Gothic Asian, and bubbly blonde like in Runaways, and just...I want this book out of my memory before I get nightmares...
