Really interesting story. It felt complete but it did not feel like the sticking power of a 4 star graphic novel.

I don’t connect well with Sci-Fi or Fantasy so this was a little lost on me. More than a little. Reviewers here helped me understand better. 🤷🏻♀️

In this graphic novel, science fiction meets psychosexual drama when four women try to bring “civilization” to the natives of a remote planet on the fringes of the known universe. Something dark is growing in Mopu. The only question is whether the danger that will undo the women’s delicate camaraderie is outside the gates―or within.

Deeply, deeply weird. Colonialism with off-brand nuns on an alien planet.

The plot is loosely based off of black narcissus, a film about nuns that start a monastery in Nepal. Just as visually stunning as the movie, this was a really interesting book and I commend the creators

Definitely the strangest book I’ve read in a really long time. I loved the art and the story had a few really interesting storylines about aliens and gender. I thought the jealousy plot was pretty tired, though. And I feel like the villain was kinda Jewish-coded? I didn’t love that.
But damn, that was one stylish book. I’m going to be thinking about some of those visuals for a long time.
