This was very disorienting to pick up and try to follow without any context or familiarity with this world.  Lots of abrupt transitions and the first few issues felt very disconnected from each other.  The  last three issues seemed to kind of find their footing and the last one finally felt like a really enjoyable cohesive story.  I was ready to give up about halfway through but glad I stuck it out.  Overall it seems like a very messy and chaotic set up for what could be a really interesting character.
