A free comic book that I cannot remember much about...must have been truly enthralling.

This is like a confusing condensed version of the show. Without knowledge of the first few episodes I would have been really confused as to what was going on.

Eh. This did not work IMO. It was vague, rushed and confusing, didn't make a lot of sense and, as someone who hasn't actually watched the tv show, I barely had a f****n' clue what was going on. The lack of detail also made it rather uninteresting. That's all I'll be reading of this series.

So scattered! If someone unfamiliar with the show read it, they'd be completely lost. I kept wondering if the panels were printed out of order. Disappointing.

I loved the Saga graphic novels so much I really wanted to find another series to fall in love with while I wait for another book, so that lead to me trying out Orphan Black #1 by John Fawcett, Graeme Manson, Jody Houser and Szymon Kudranski. I'm a big fan of the two seasons I've watched of the TV series--I plan to finish it, but they took it off Netflix--which is definitely who these books are aimed at.
Orphan Black #1 would not make any sense if you hadn't seen the show and the graphics are nice but it doesn't add anything to the story either. Plus, 30ish pages isn't enough to tell much of a story. Instead, it feels like the authors didn't try and just relied on the fact that fans who like the show would like this. I'm tempted to pick up the next ones just because they are so short--each one focuses on a different clone, with this being Sarah's story--but I know I'm better off saving my time to watch the TV show instead. Never thought I'd write that!

I was really excited about this comic! I love the show so much! I knew it would probably be a little choppy bc it's based off the show but I don't think it flowed very well. I did enoy it overall though!
