I loved the story and art. David and Chloe set out on a journey to bring back mankind. They meet unexpected allies and experience many dangers on the way. I was completely sucked into the story and couldn't put it down.

Very predictable/full of dystopian tropes. Wish it was a little more original

Beautiful art and interesting story so far. I can't wait to get my hands on the next issue.

Ehhhhh. Fairly generic. I read this in single issues and would give each of them a 2 out of 5 - except maybe the final 6th issue would get a 3 out of 5.

It's a typical last man on earth/machine take-over story, only I feel it lacked any kind of original or new message, let alone a twist of any kind to keep me invested.

The art was cool, I guess.

All in all a fairy lukewarm experience for me, unfortunately.

This is not an overly complex or deeply plotted story. However it is not a typical AI- Apocalypse story either. In a future where humanity has been eliminated and all biological life has been brought under the control of an all controlling AI, one rogue android brings her creator back to life setting into motion a final apocalyptic struggle between the few machines left that are loyal to humanity and the AI network controlling the world.
