This story is fascinating and I'm invested! I'm a Saga fan and Brian K. Vaughan doesn't hold back with the violence here either, aha. I like Yorick. He's a bit of a dumbass at times, but *shrug* that's part of his charm! I admit I'm not hugely invested in the characters yet, but I mean this is the beginning of it all. But I need all the answers to the why (Y? punny?) of it all; so I'm looking forward to the rest.

Oh good, another series for me to get addicted to. Cool concept, basically the inverse of Frank Herbert's "White Plague". I'll keep reading, and hopefully find out what's actually going on!

Wow. I like everything that Brian K Vaughn writes so I knew I was going to like this, but if it keeps up like this I might have a new favorite.
The first couple of issues are a little hard to get into, but once we get going we get going.
There were some parts that I thought were a little rushed, but the characters themselves are amazing.
As always excellent writing is too be expected

Only ok at first, but picks up in terms of character development towards the end.

Some stuff has not aged very well (the way trans men are talked about) although sadly probably accurate to the time. However, it's a romp and I'll probably persevere.
