Ultimately, this was a book that surprised me in a lot of ways. While Alec Longstreth deftly hooks you in with with art that is full of life and character but focuses on telling a story more than anything, he very quickly pulls the curtain back and reveals an emotional depth that takes you by surprise and sucks you into the book even more.

This is the kind of comic that does what it does quietly and out of sight, but if you take the opportunity to let it tell you it's story then you will be changed for it. This is how comics should be.
