Honestly, this wasn't my favourite of Alterna's newsprint comics. It was good, and I did quite enjoy it, but it didn't grab me the same way as other comics in the newsprint line – though that should be taken more as a compliment to the overall quality of the newsprint product than a knock on this issue.

I cant recommend this one; give it a pass. Read Full Review
