A bit too early to say, but I won’t be surprised if this turns out to be Remender’s masterpiece. It’s a pretty amazing combination of story and theme, and, though I could see it being too heavy handed for some, it totally works for me. Toccini’s art is the best it has ever been. Dave McCraig’s colors are some of the best I have seen, and he adds clarity to Toccini’s impressionistic (and add times a little rushed) art. These giant hardcovers are a little cumbersome, but the oversized art makes it worth it.

Gah, abandoned around page 100. For all of the foreward's lauding of Stef's optimism and strength, this book sure does love to keep its female characters naked, sexualized, and assaulted.

Beautiful art, but I struggled to buy into the hopelessness. Still felt it was a solid story and liked the world a lot.

This is a tale of misery and excessive, pointless nudity.

Better story than Black Science, more women, but why do we meet every adult woman when she's naked? What's up with Della's tactical breasts out getup? Disappointing.
