This is a dystopian retelling of Oliver Twist. For some reason, my copy was put together as issue 2, 1, 4, 3. It’s weird but it works. The art is fantastic and suits the story very well. It kinda ends on a cliffhanger. I will be seeking out vol. 2.

Well that was weirdly interesting!

Edit (022419):
I really liked the premise for this one, but I'm unsure how I feel about it after just one issue. I know new stories like this require a lot of setup and world-building, which is why I'm willing to give Oliver another chance to win me over. I'm interested, but not entirely convinced it's going to work for me.
