This was pretty disappointing from Hendrix. The writing was dull, and the characters felt like empty stereotypes. The only thing that saved it from a true 2 ⭐️ review was the attention to detail from the artists and designers working on this book that made it feel like a catalogue, that showed every item number featuring 666 (and notably one that didn’t? I’ve got theories…), that really made the ending something unique.
If you walk into this book, come for the concept, buy into the concept, just don’t expect to be wowed by any of the characters.
