I absolutely loved everything single word and panel in this beautifully crafted tale. The art is a wonderful colour wash of post modern impressionism that suits the feel and the mood perfectly. Hopefully the start of something wonderful.......JM
Solid Lemire. So far so good. Its vague, but I know he'll do a great job putting it together.
I'm not a fan of Jeff Lemire's art. Everyone looks like a zombie. It's amateur at best. Not sure why he is insisting on drawing his own story, but it's definitely to its detriment. The setup is interesting, but I have no idea what this is about. The issue starts with some kind of vision and ends with some kind of vision without any explanation of what her abilities are. I'll continue it with the hopes that he'll start explaining the elements of the story.
