This has been getting a lot of good reviews and it's film rights were optioned on the release of the second issue so I was looking forward to reading it. And if I'm honest it didn't disappoint. It is extremely creepy in places and the story and graphics pull you along. That said though it didn't altogether impress, as its political and social commentary element felt way too heavy handed and in your face. A far subtler treatment would have sold the story better I feel. I also feel that the ending was a little rushed. It felt like they had more to say but were constrained by a 6 issue format. Pushing for an 8 issue format and giving the story more time to breath would have enhanced the piece.
Enjoyable and worth a second read at sometime and it will be interesting to see what a film treatment of this will look like if and when it ever gets made.
