Après quelques pages, on s'habitue au style graphique particulier qui finalement contribue à l'ambiance sombre et apocalyptique. La palette de couleurs apporte le glauque et la violence en touche finale. Les traits des protagonistes sont flous avec de beaux décors en arrière-plan.

L'intrigue est intéressante et nous plonge dans un mystère épais avec beaucoup de questions à résoudre à la fin de ce premier tome. On a bien du mal à voir vers où on va tendre pour la suite et l'avenir du monde ou même savoir ce qu'il en est advenu.

Mon bémol vient principalement des personnages. Outre leur nombre important, j'ai eu du mal à les distinguer et à pleinement apprécier leur histoire. Certains se sont démarqués dans le premier tome mais de là à avoir retenu leur nom à chacun c'est une autre histoire...

Eh, didn't really do it for me. Even though the ideas are creepy and the art is good, I ultimately just felt like this never really grabbed me. I definitely felt like the choice to mostly just refer to characters by jobs kept the characters at arm's length, so then it was hard to care about what was happening to them.

The graphics are AWESOME. I wasn't as gripped by the story as I wanted to be, but overall this is super cool.
