The solid grasp of characterisation and compelling plot makes me confident that future instalments will be worth picking up, and Im definitely interested to see where the story goes. I also have to commend the book for its stark, striking cover with its splash of red. Its an instantly attractive image which also captures the essence of the story within in the way that all good comic covers should. An impressive package which deserves to find a wide audience.
