This comic has some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen, but it is one that requires the reader to slow down and take their time going through each panel.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the writing in this one, it really felt like it needed a bit more of a background than what it had. Some characters were very difficult to understand who they were and what their motivations are. Others were clearly a character that is well known throughout various mythologies (Death for example), which made me try to guess which story it was trying to tell (my guess for a while was Orpheus and Eurydice but that wasn't quite right).
I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys Western style stories with some horror and mythological aspects with beautiful art, but do know that the story isn't a fully fleshed out as I would have liked.
