I liked this a lot, but I think it had a hard time building up to its full potential in just six issues. Basically, it fit five seasons of plot twists (picked and chosen, obv) in one book. I really like the idea of this world where Beth lives, though, and I wish we could have seen more!

Just not needed or all that interesting or different from the show. The dialogue is literally pulled the same from it and the storyline is very similar still. Also while the art is pretty good, the differences between the clones isn't as clear as on screen and made is just a bit confusing.

I love Orphan Black to begin with, and I also love the idea of playing around with an already-established canon, so this was a ton of fun. They managed to pack in a lot of elements and nods from the show, which was fun, and there were a lot of neat surprises. Because it's jam-packed and about clones, I'd really only recommend this to fans of the show.

i have been a fan of orphan black for a while now and honestly, this was a bit of a let down. it took me three days to get through six issues. . . i had virtually no motivation to read this because the storyline was so bland. it was too close to the actual plot for me. i feel that the authors could have done so much more now that beth was alive. there were points where this was a bit confusing, but you could easily work it out.

i won’t read this again and even though it took me far too long to read it, i’m not THAT mad about it.

While I was super interested in this concept, in the end it just didn't have enough of a pay off for me.

I liked the way the writers played with the characters and plots from all 5 seasons... but maybe because they were pulling little bits out of a whole series, it never felt like the stakes were raised the way they were in the show. This could easily be a 12-issue story, and I probably would have liked it better that way.
