 The artwork in this comic was so beautiful at times I couldn't believe someone had drawn this! The world was a dark and harsh place that wasn't afraid to shy away from the effects that war can cause. The plot was hard to follow at times, it just drops you into this world and the lore it has and expects you to follow it right away. Once I got the hang of it though it wasn't too much trouble to grasp it. Such a large plethora of characters you are introduced to in this universe and all of them are as equally interesting as the main character. I can't wait to see what happens in the next volume and where the story goes from here!
