I have no idea what the author was trying to portray in this book. What a mess. The show is compelling, and I think it improves on the all-over-the-place source material.

Two stars because the art was well done.

T'was really something else. Had to read it through though. And I'm glad that I did, even though this wasn't a masterpiece.

Saw the Netflix show and wanted to see what the source material was like. This is not the same, but has similar characters. The similarity stops at the beginning premise of a body showing up at four different times
Not sure i understand the meaning of this overall story

I got this book in the middle of watching the show on Netflix but waited until finishing the show before starting the book. And...well...I can't say I understood what was going on at any point in this book. The amount of time we spent with any one character was so short that the individual plots were hard to follow, and the connections between them weren't entirely clear. That said, I did enjoy the art. I bought the book partly because Dean Ormston is one of my favorite comic book artists, and he never disappoints.

Decent story and interesting illustrations. Maybe comics aren’t for me. A little too many slurs for my liking but other wise a quick read.

Perhaps I would have liked this better if I hadn't seen the Netflix adaptation first. Go watch that, if you can. I'll wait.
