I was really lost for most of this. Powering through because I have the third one out from the library and why not.

While most of the characters are still rather unlikeable the story is rather great. The writing is fantastic and the worlds they jump to are exceptionally fascinating. The artwork while having a vey beautiful color scheme, seriously beautiful color scheme, a lot of the characters end up looking a like. The mistress and Grant's daughter end up looking so similar at times it's super creepy. Still all in all worth a read.

Bottom line: I enjoyed reading this a lot. It's been a long while since I read through volume 1, so it took me a little bit to get caught back up on some of what was happening and the relationships between the characters. But this book made me interested in reading more of the series to see where these people end up.

This volume got a little too meta for me. I didn't care at all about Kadir's internal dialogue which was like 75% of the novel. I think the last issue was the best by far because things actually happened. I might pick up the next volume but this one wasn't too great.

I'm not sure I love the style of this - mostly a character monologue accompanied by action in image and some dialogue. The story and concept are interesting, but I can see how this could completely fall into confusing chaos, especially considering the number of Grants that start showing up.

Ahhhh this story is nuts and keeps getting crazier! Loving how the different versions keep running into each other, accusing each other, building upon the story and who-did-what and who-keeps-doing-what. Complex with great art that gets less formulaic (and thus more interesting...to me anyway).

A little more happy with this book than the first, although I still struggle with the images (it's hard to see some of the details because there is SO much going on) and I'm not sure if I'm into the story.

Gorgeous art, as always. Scalera's style is so vivid.

I think this volume was quite scattered, though. It did not hit it out of the park like volume one. A stronger focus tightening the multiple points of view would have been welcome.

This series is one of many titles I've been reading lately. I like the idea of a crazy scientist (not too mad), who wants to make history by creating a "pillar" that takes you to many dimensions/worlds/universe. Add your typical domestic issues and backstabbing maniacs and you get a wild ride across worlds. Also you will never know a different version of you might kill you. I highly recommend this series.

PS: I like Matteo Scalera's art in this series.
