Loved the art, it was really striking at times and also gave me a sense of the claustrophobia that the characters would be feeling in the house. If you like a good horror/sci-fi story, definitely check this out.

Après j’avoue que dans le passé on voit beaucoup Norah pré-transition et son dead-name aussi. Je pense c’est le truc qui m’a vraiment fait tiquer, le deadname n’était pas obligatoire quand on la voyait au passé

After that, however, Tynion has other plans for us. The relationships are rich and convoluted, the conflicts are each personal and global, the surprises are usually genuine, and the artwork is gorgeous. Many have praised the diversity of the characters, particularly in the healthy normalizing of non-binary relationships. Mostly though, for me, I appreciated both the believability of each character and the tensions built from many ultimately respectable perspectives. What is really the question for readers: exactly what are the stakes here for each?
It is this approach to the narrative which makes the otherwise formulaic story conceit fresh and fascinating. The foreshadowing is thick, the hypotheses offered unsound, and so we worry alongside each of them in this claustrophobic utopia, wondering exactly "what the rules are."
Fortunately, Volume 2, issues 7-12, have bee published, so I will not have to wait long to find out.
