I actually liked the story itself, but the issue felt like intended specifically for fellow comic book creators and the old guard of comic book review sites who bend over backwards to applaud creators no matter wha, in order to keep their connections. The book came off as self-flattering and self-indulgent in its execution. At the end of the day this was a cookie-cutter “women who were seen as rebels or untowardly were considered witches” story done in (extremely beautiful) high-brow artistry. Yes, this was visually appealing (Tula Lotay’s dream sequences are breathtaking), but I’m sure there will be certain reviewers who fall over themselves gushing about this issue in an effort to win brownie points with the big-name creators associated with the publisher. However, I would be shocked if this was a hit outside the comic industry’s inner-circle. more
