I'd like to thank NetGalley and Oni Press publishing for the eARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not a graphic novel reader - I own only a couple of Sin City tomes and a lone Wolverine issue I think? But picked this book up from the NetGalley shelves due to the gorgeous cover art, and wasn't disappointed.
Some other reviewers mention that the story is erratic and I do agree: most questions go unanswered and it requires an large amount of suspension of disbelief, but that didn't take anything away from the experience for me. The art is as stunning as the cover, the paneling is creative and the narrative is compelling - we follow Wren through an inner exploration of her past and her fears along with an outer exploration of a massive complex full of terrors.
Definitely recommended for sci-fi horror readers, it's a short but wild ride.
