dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

First off, damn Warren Ellis for being such an awful human being while writing such quality stuff. His existence alone loses this thing one star.
Which is a damn shame, because it's a dark, twisted, disturbing and often perversely funny insight into humanity's flaws, through the eyes of a chaotic wreck of a man who hurts everyone he touches. Also, when it says for mature readers, it really means it. Don't say I didn't warn you.
