Great weird art, weird story. Very stylish, manages to pull off a bit of poignancy.

This had a really interesting premise (and beautiful graphics), but was ultimately lacking. At times the story was confusing and had plot holes I couldn't look past. A baby is born who will eventually create immortality, so we're firing Death right now? Do people just not die after she's fired? 

I enjoyed the graphics, but there was a lot of telling instead of letting the images do the work. I think towards the end, the message got very heavy handed. This could have used a couple more books to really expand the characters and give more space to get the message across.

Brilliant story and artwork that compliment each other. This book reflects on what it means to live and die and reminds me of Neil Gaiman’s Death (Sandman series).

Stronger than Grafity's Wall, but I still found the end and Darius' change rushed.
