Weirdly bizarre yet strangely beautiful sci fi graphic novel.
The art style is phenomenal, with colour and movement that draws you (lol) in and really engages you within the text. The use of changing scale and perspective helps convey the story brilliantly, aiding with the words on the pages.
The story itself is rather basic but the world building and characteristics showcased throughout help build it into something bigger than it is. Through rather limited text you feel for this characters and get a sense of who’s who in the larger political scale and where about they lie in terms of their beliefs.
A brilliant introduction to the series and I’m sure I’ll be reading more!
