    Shelfer has a unique visual style and does a great job of crafting the visual world of these characters with panels that show the scope and scale of these different and unique worlds. Read Full Review

    A slightly disjointed story that did get a little lost. But I am hopeful the next issue will tie up any loose ends. Artwork was next level, the story seems to be more of a foundational layer rather than a groundbreaker. Read Full Review

    If asked why this adaptation is beneficial, the only answer seems to be that there was a quick buck to be grabbed. Read Full Review

    I wasn't a fan of the art style and felt it would have been better suited for a manga from the 80s or 90s. There wasn't really a story either with most of the pages dedicated to introducing the various worlds and characters.
