Honestly I expected so much more from this book, the story was basic and made out to be so much more interesting from the sneak peeks.

I think Picolo simply bit off more than he could chew with the indiegogo campaign for this, which has lead to a rushed story and some rushed drawings... the drawings he has clearly spent a lot of time on are ones previously posted on his Instagram so it’s nothing new.

A complete shame, especially as this book has taken a year and a half to get to the people who supported his campaign I expected so much more from the quality of the book itself, to the story and drawings inside.

Meh is the only word to describe it.

I loved the illustrations in this! They were so beautiful. The author, Gabriel Picolo, is truly a talented artist. I liked the story overall, but I do feel that the character development could have been better. I can't wait to see what he does next because I truly enjoy his work.

Finalmente, dopo un anno e mezzo è tra le mie mani! Fumetto di ottima fattura, pagine spesse e lucide per far risaltare i bellissimi disegni. Storia breve ma intensa che in qualche modo fa riflettere, avrei voluto fosse un po' più lunga!

El libro parece más de lo que realmente es porque es un papel de muchísimo gramaje. A parte de eso, el final me parece algo abrupto, te esperas que desarrolle algo más la historia, aún así es una edición preciosa.
