I finally get comics.
I've read them before, sure; and I appreciate them for the art and the interesting things they can do with narrative. But I've always felt the dialogue was forced and/or corny, and no comic I ever read transitioned from panel to panel, page to page in a way that felt 100% natural. Until this one.
DeConnick and De Landro are a fantastic team. The art is amazing and it reads seamlessly, unfolding as though it were playing out right in front of me. The story is funny, smart, and fucking terrifying. I can't wait to read the second book.

The painkillers I took aren't helping, but this comic sure does.

Awesome graphic novel/comic!! I found the premise alone fascinating, and luckily it didn't disappoint! The plot was fast paced enough to keep me turning the pages, but it didn't sacrifice character development or world building. I am definitely going to read the next volumes asap!
Warning: Lots of nudity and a decent amount of violence so if those aren't your jams this won't be for you
