What a solid first volume. 
Set the foundations for an interesting concept. 
I like the art style and the storyline so far has me keen to pick up the next volume.

This is probably the creepiest graphic novel I've ever read. The author and illustrator succeed in giving you a sense of who the characters are at the most basic level in a limited number of pages. It is pretty gory, though, so keep that in mind before reading. This is just the beginning of the story, though, so learn from my example and make sure to have the next issue on hand, because it's easy to get hooked on the plot.
