This was excellently drawn and very striking, and a bit hard to follow at times, but really seemed to find it's stride about halfway through

Great art and strong premise. Slow to resolve early plot threads, and told a bit too much through exposition.

The artwork is beautiful but it's a slow-paced story and mystery it was setting up simply didn't hook me.

A great start to a series that I can only expect will continue to be masterful in terms of story telling and art. It's so cool to be up close with these amazing climbers and hear their stories firsthand.

Interesting magna that gives a lot of information about mountaineering and offers an intriguing mystery regarding the missing Mallory expedition on Mt. Everest.  Kind of reminded me of the What if series on Disney+ in a way the mystery was set up.
