More than half the book isn't coloured yet and in that half, there are a few places where panels and lines have been repeated, I'm assuming this will be fixed before the publication date. As for the story, it's a typical sci-fi dystopian in its structure, world-building and plot twists, most of the story is very obvious straight from the beginning, the final few panels did surprise me but maybe I had stopped paying enough attention as everything else was predictable.
Graphic: Classism, Confinement, Blood, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, Gun violence, Gaslighting, Slavery, Child abuse, and Death
