This extra-long 50-page first issue allows enough plot and character development to feel almost like two combined issues. Devyn would rather run to a parallel world than deal with simple issues like work, love and friendship, but she is not alone in the world and most readers will relate to her amazing skills at avoiding anything outside her comfort zone. The rules entice forthcoming problems as we skip through realities and mess up alternate versions of Dagger's life. It's romantic, sexy and abstract in the best possible sense. Read Full Review

Over the course of the story, Devyn gets more and more tattoos, and by the end of the issue, Devyn is gloriously arrayed in flowers, symbols and webs, swirling and dotting her body like beautiful battle scars. The sci-fi part of the issue is drawn in a surreal fashion thats diametrically opposite to what wed seen to that point, but equally beautiful and edgy. Read Full Review

Bolero is a tantalizing new series taking the multiverse to a relatable human level. Its beauty is in how it makes its characters so real and raw holding back its clever big fantasy twist to the final few pages. It's a memorable experience with a mind-blowing hook you won't want to miss. Read Full Review

Bolero #1 is a decent start to a series that has a really interesting premise that hopefully will be interesting to see play out. Unfortunately, the characters aren't very interesting in this issue. Read Full Review

It was a good first issue. Good character development and curious to what type of stories they will tell in the other worlds.

Great premise but I despise the protagonist which makes it difficult to continue with this character's journey.
