3.5 stars.
The initial premise of this comic has a lot going for it, and those elements play out well, particularly in the first few issues of the story. Building on the classic style of a locked-room mystery, the plot is further complicated by past relationships, addiction, and external danger - all in a sci-fi setting.
The art is solid throughout, and the plot is well delivered, keeping things uncertain as the mystery unfolds. The final issues deviated from investigation storyline, and this is where I was less engaged with events. It wasn't badly told, but the distance from the original mystery diminished some of the tension that made the story work well in the beginning.
Overall, though, a good crime thriller with an interesting plot and effective visuals.

La parte gráfica no se queda atrás pero en ese aspecto mi opinión todavía no vale siendo este apenas mi sexto cómic.

That was...a surprisingly hopeful ending for what was such a noir-ish tale. Broken hearts, broken men, addiction, murder, and a femme fatale usually end up with a “forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown” style conclusion. I’m glad that this one didn’t
