It has VERY sexually graphic scenes that make it very hard to continue reading and are very distracting. It’s fine if the point was erotica but it seems to be a shock factor

 The first volume is certainly intriguing, but I'm not sure I'm getting on the hype train yet.

Beautiful art, character designs and world building. It gives the reader a new look on the complex nature and effect of war, people, society,etc. The characters are great, especially Marko.
Also, there are sentient robots with TV heads. Hilarious.

Everything is very graphic (what with it being an adult comic book) but it all comes across as humourous, as opposed to particularly dark/grim. Definitely 18+

“This is how an idea becomes real. But ideas are fragile things.“

Some of the most phenomenal character design I’ve ever come across. Instantly likable characters, incredible witty dialogue, and fascinating writing overall. I honestly can barely wrap my head around it. 

And this is only volume one.
