I love the illustration, the story is alright and overall I got more spooked than I tend to from things like this. I liked it.

This edition wasn't the best collection graphic novel I've read. For the price I found it short. There is little character and plot development due to the short selection of issues. The premise was intriguing and I probably will continue with the series.

I did not love the artwork, it was quite abstract for my tastes, but still interesting enough to draw me in. I do feel like a bit backstory would have been good for the story, it was hard to care about the characters and everything seemed a bit confusing, but maybe this will clear up in the following volumes.
