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

This was my first time reading a graphic novel, and it was certainly... graphic! Weird creatures, graphic deaths, sexual content and strong language mean this is definitely not something to leave lying around if you have kids in the house. I was saddened to see the unnecessary use of the R word, but otherwise this was a pretty fun read. It only took an hour or two to blast through it and I'm definitely curious to read more of the story.
