Interesting graphic novel about a young boy discovering that he is a Cloven (half-human, half-goat). Takes a bit for the story to get good pacing, but the jagged, gritty art is captivating. The ending is a proper cliffhanger & introduction to what will be chaos in Book Two. I’ll definitely read it!

Really enjoyable start to the series. The artwork is little messy, but sort of fits the floating timeline/fever dream quality of the storytelling.

This is a solid story told well visually and textually. It's not the most original idea and pleasantly reminds me a bit of the television series Dark Angel, but most stories have been told countless times, with original twists and voices. I especially appreciate the setting that reflects certain issues of our times as it explores timeless ethics. I will definitely read the follow-ups.

Wasn't sure about it going in, but I did enjoy this one. The story can be a little too familiar at times (we want them as soldiers plot...ok) and for me the opening was a little too cold - needed some intro to Tuck's current life outside testing. Otherwise, enjoyed the story and art. It's only book one, so things are left on a cliffhanger.

Lush and atmospheric, the illustrations look like Seattle in the rain.
