The first 3/4's of this graphic novel were too weird, random, and meh, then the last quarter got interesting enough just in time for the first volume to end.

I enoyed this book - falling in to history, fantasy, magic and science fiction - I initially found the illustrations did not pull me in but the story had me falling fast.

Once again with the woman protagonist who only cares about her mysterious love interest who definitely treats her like shit. Premise was interesting but the execution was horrible.

I am bad at graphic novels and comics because as I'm reading, I'm thinking, "these pictures are great! too bad they're distracting me from the words. why aren't there more words?" Anyway, this series was enjoyable, if a bit cheesy, and features Amelia Earhart!

An interesting new comic, with secret histories and strange technologies and espionage and conspiracy. Solid writing from Wilson, but the art is distracting; Perker has a particular weakness for faces and realistic expressions, to the point that it takes me out of the story.

Uggghhhh... this is a mess. I bought the entire 4 book series based upon the good word of mouth it was getting from some authors I enjoyed and now I'm wondering how it could have gotten the praise it received (unless it gets frickin' amazing in later volumes). There's very little character development, the plot is rammed along at a pace that allows for zero development or explanation for why things are happening, and the whole alternate world that this story is operating in seems really... "off" I guess is the best word. I really have no desire to keep reading this series other than for curiosity's sake... if they published 3 more volumes it must get better... right?
