I started off just kind of being meh about this series. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't obsessed. This is definitely a series that grows on you the more you read it. I've come to love and care about characters I used to hate, and I can't usually say that for a comic series.

The rare story that’s as good as everyone says it is. I didn’t love everything, but I loved a lot and liked damn near everything. Fiona Staples creates the kind of world that could only exist in comics, so stylish and stellar to look at. BKV’s writing hews a little heavy-handed, but the (many) characters are compelling, and he did well at what he always does well: making me care. Completely worth the hype and I’m so glad I read it.
