I was introduced to this comic book by going into a book store in Salt Lake City and finding the omnibus of this volume. It was so huge. Back then, I never read a graphic novel before. I thought it was tacky. After getting off my high horse the last few weeks and reading a lot of graphic novels, I decided to give this series a try. So far I enjoy it. The TV show is very popular so I have semi high expectations. I even bought Kindle Unlimited just to read all these.
A sort of nothing start. I've watched the first season of the show, so I know it doesn't continue being a nothing series, but if I had picked up the series starting with this first issue I wouldn't be confident this was going places.

I didn’t read the Kindle edition, but a floppy (2021 reprint, promoting the animated series from Amazon), and I was really intrigued! I tend to dislike #1 of anything (too much setup required, not enough pages left for a story), so for this to excite me was a pleasant surprise. I will have to make time for that series and maybe pick up a collection or two of the original comic to see what happens/happened next!
The greatest thing about this series is that it's complete. Darn it the full circle really is pretty satisfying.
This and Y: The Last Man are the comic series that feel the most whole, in my opinion. And both have MCs that, imo, start out kind of annoying and grow on you. Although I like Yorick more ;)
A consistently fun ride. Biggest rip is that Atom Eve wasn't treated as being more OP. She has a fantastic arc tho. Fav character vibes.
