Wonderful art, compelling story - I just wish a little more time was spent with all the different plot elements. The story follows three different characters with three different stories that...sort of converge at the end. A lot of build-up, but not enough spent on the actual climax, in my opinion. Even just a few more pages spent on each plotline would have made them feel like they meshed together, instead of being three plot threads that just happen at the same time. I'll still read the next one in the series though - I really do enjoy the groundwork this comic (and the mcr ablum) laid, and I'm hoping for more story and more context.
