  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

i did not expect that reveal towards the end, but in retrospect, when you remove the supernatural elements it’s horrifyingly true to life. 

i had some issues with the formatting of this but that is likely due to the fact that i don’t read comics. 

the characters are fully realized within this very atmospheric world. if you can stomach the heavy topics and graphic but abstract imagery i would highly recommend this.
