Sean Phillips displays a solid understanding of the material as the book is set within the confines of dark, decidedly sinister world, and the art makes it clear that there is always something more going on than meets the eye. From the delightfully seedy environment of the opening sequence, to the meeting that Holden has with the alien, the art manages to capture the underlying vibe of the material.
