In The Flood by Ray Fawkes

I disliked this one too. But I won't stop reading comics. I refuse to let a few poor experiences ruin my enjoyment of a new genre. Am I expecting too much? Are all comics like this? I've read some good graphic novels, have I just picked out really good ones? Exceptions to a general rule of style over substance?

Maybe it is just a poor selection by comiXology Originals.

They're not irredeemably bad. Certainly not this one.

The best way to describe this is to say that the blue panels are the best. Everything else is just... Meh...

I loved the concept but it didn't go anywhere. There was a mystery but very little tension or payoff.

Because of the blue panels, this earned one extra star.

The art was good, but pretty images without a strong narrative means I'm going to be disappointed overall. It's just not neat and sharp enough.
