Well, the art work was not really my style - too YA for my tastes and ending was rushed.
Way and Simon's synergistic mind-melding sprouted this graphic novel. A soul sister to a concept album I've never even heard.
I'm probably not the intended audience but I like the weird dystopian future and the beautiful yet brutish artwork. At times bizarre and confusing, I reread it again just to get my head around it (and spend a bit more time in each frame).
The afterwords are worth a read, two sides of the same coin. Way's “awakening” moved and saddened me more than anything in the story.
