Great stuff! It's surreal, but the world has rule to follow. The characters are engaging. It leaves you bewildered and befuddled. Simply excellent!

I love the artwork and the unique world Rob Davis created; however, I have no idea what the story was about. I spent the entire book waiting for everything to come together but it never happened. It was an interesting read.

I love a good dystopia. I wish I could say this was one of them. It had so much potential, but the plot was too circular and ended before the creator could make a clear statement about the dystopian society he created. With little exposition, I felt confused most of the time, but stuck it through due to the very interesting and diverse trio of characters that struggled against the hegemony.

Encontré este cómic de casualidad, no tenía ninguna referencia previa, empecé a leerlo y no paré más. Es una premisa muy extraña, pero que de alguna manera funciona como una suerte de novela de formación, en la cual, el protagonista, que vive en una sociedad donde los padres son artefactos mecánicos, conoce a una chica que no tiene fecha de muerte (como sí la tiene él, que morirá en una semana) y decide escapar con ella para vivir sus últimos días. El dibujo es perfecto para la historia. Me encantó.

The best thing I can say about this graphic novel is that it was wholly unique. Otherwise, I would have been happier if all of these one-dimensional characters got killed in a knife storm early on so the book would have ended sooner.
