I think my main issue with this book is similar to the complaint I have about most stand-alone graphic novels - there was so much potential to flesh out the story and not make it feel rushed, but instead of splitting the book into two volumes, it seemed as if the author shortened the story to make sure things would fit into one. I liked the story and the characters well enough, but it felt like we were dropped into the book in the middle of the story (Nova's parents, for example?) and it never really got resolved in a satisfactory way. There were so many things I would have liked to have seen with this book, but because we only got one volume of it, it seems like we got shorted a bit.
