This is a touching and extremely well-written graphic novel. There's not really much more that can be said about it. The storyline draws you in and makes you feel for these characters. This is only amplified by Joysuke Wong's fantastic artwork: the story truly comes to life. I honestly cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this book " buy it, you won't regret it.

Still, so far so good, and I look forward to more fighting, explosions and swearing to appeal to my inner child and Firefly fan.

Issue 1 sets the premise up nicely. Ro Stein and Ted Brandt's artwork illustrates the sheer confused hell of someone that considered herself nothing but another brick in the wall being dropped into the spotlight in the worst way. Chris Sebela's script is sharp and the dialogue punchy enough to keep you interested and ready for the next issue. Which, in all honesty, is even better.

The debut issue is a little light on detail, but still has more than enough intrigue to draw the reader in and keep them interested. And of course Caspar Wijngaard's artwork is as spot-on as ever, capturing the mixture of Cajun and Latin America perfectly.

The artwork is easily as good as the storytelling, in fact it takes at least two read-throughs to pick up on all the little background Easter Eggs that D'Israeli has dropped in. If anything is wrong with issue 1, it's my usual gripe about the structuring of a lot of comics in the last few years: that the book is written not as a self-contained comic with a cliffhanger leading into issue 2 but as the first few pages of a graphic novel. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story so far and I'm looking forward to issue 2.

All in all, this is a pretty damn good ride. Recommended.
