I so want to give this a 5/5 but given it's only part of a mystery I'll give it a 4 for now. No idea why this took me so long to finally read, I pretty much loved everything about it. Some of the most provocative and original science fiction I've read in a long time, really does something new and exciting with tired Sci-Fi tropes. The mystery is deep and layered (fascinating to try and piece together albeit on the confusing side), I really hope it sticks the landing in the end.
Of course it goes without saying that Cliff Chiang's artwork is gorgeous and his panel to panel storytelling is pitch perfect. There is some all-timer design work in here for Creatures, Weird Tech, and costume design. Don't know how much of that is Vaughan's writing or Chiang's sketching but either way it does wonders for the world of the book.
