Nice littler teaser. I dig the art. I dig the setup and the world. How raw everything is. I dig the realness in the writing. Actually sounds like people talking. No preaching here. Just solid story telling! I really enjoy this publisher and they are yet again making a solid comic. Good writing. Good art. What more can ya want?
