Despite my accolades for the book, I personally don't find it to be anything original. Its story very much reminds me of concepts touched upon by Macross Plus, A.I., and Blade Runner. You could even throw in Pinocchio in there if you wanted. Whatever the case, this book is worth checking out. It's the perfect marriage of story and art. Read Full Review
Simply put, look past the high cover price on this issue, as it's more than worth it, and give this issue a try. Even if you opt not to continue collecting this series, I doubt anyone will regret or begrudge having purchased this issue. Read Full Review
It's definitely an interesting book, and the art is absolutely incredible, full of astonishing detail, bright, shiny colors, and nice character work. Not to mention a good sense of humor, whether it's in slapstick comedy or a sly level of sexuality. The only thing that I don't especially like about the book are superficial, namely the price ($5.99 for 48 pages of story and an additional 16 pages of promotional material for the other Soleil books that Marvel is publishing) and the format (the "album-size" art has been shrunk down to fit into the standard U.S. comics pamphlet, leaving strips of white space at the top and bottom of each page). If you can overcome those factors, and you like a little bit of offensiveness mixed in with your social commentary, you should definitely check it out. Read Full Review
