Not sure how I feel about this. Overall I'm pretty positive but I found Dinah's perspective shifts a little fast for my liking after a heavily telegraphed Big Drama Scene Where Billionaire Reveals How Low He Will Stoop. I think it's a little too focused on explaining the setup to give her the space she needs to shine as a character. Still though, it's an intriguing start and I'm deffo interested to see where it goes.

I'm enjoying this series a lot so far! The beautiful rosy palettes of day contrasting with the sharp terrors of the night. Kate feeling faraway and lost to the reader. Definitely a little slow but I don't mind! Happy to take a long walk through a short world.

This series has mostly fed on uncertainty up to this point, and that does not change with this issue. It's hard to cheer for anything when the whole plot feels like a sick game they're playing on you. Thankfully, I dig that vibe so I'm happy to stick around with it.

Awesome to read a comic by people who are as big (if not bigger) fans of Brian DePalma, David Cronenberg, and Chuck Jones as I am. Little light initially, (spends a bit too much of its brief time in Cube Town) but the last couple pages were fantastic and I'm excited to see more of it.

Just OK. Neat premise, but didn't really hook me enough to get me to want to buy another issue. Both the writing and art were serviceable enough, but neither were strong enough to keep me interested. Love the cover and the final piece of art, though.

it's fine! wish my shop had had a copy of the first issue, as not much of interest happens in this one. lots of standing around and talking without much interesting to be said.

Little slow, the dialogue is hit or miss (mostly on the miss side for me), but I love the concept and art and I'm excited to see where it goes!

Slowly revving up, but still feels like a lot of teasers more than anything. Pacing is better than the first issue, and in general it feels more confident and self-assured. Maybe that's just because I'm already invested in this world a bit, but I definitely found Dev a more interesting character in this one. The humour/dialogue is still very hit or miss, and as a self proclaimed lover of works where people just say stupid stuff, this doesn't quite get there for me in that department. I think the quippiness needs to be dialed back just a hair for me to really be able to dig it without reservations. Art is great, but you don't need me to tell you that.

What a banger of a first issue! Combines so many things that I love about comics: weirdness, an attitude of self criticism, beautiful art, ugly people, multimedia shenanigans, and a commentary on the past, present, and future.

Awesome to see everything that was so carefully put together start to come apart, and start to really get a feel for these characters.

Smouldering, sexy, intense, intriguing! Very excited to see where this goes.

Still struggles with continuity from time to time (the pacing can be a bit jumpy) but I think that's mostly coz Campbell has all these awesome scenes he's envisioned and is desperate to get to. Will not complain about it too much because, like last issue, it gives us some pretty spectacular scenes.
