The story was good, but the hyper-stylization of the artwork kind of took away from it. Don't get me wrong, Paul Pope's artwork is beautifully rendered, but this story didn't really need it.

I love Paul Pope's style, and there are a lot of really interesting story threads running through this one, adding up to one great whole. A fascinating collection.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/816176.html[return][return]A very well done story of six people, forming and unforming as couples, in New York in the year 2038; the background is fairly incidental, and it reminded me a bit of Jason Lutes' Berlin, though with less politics.

I’ve never read anything quite like it. Gritty, sexy, grotesque, and overwhelming. It’s like Jack Kirby spliced with Philip K. Dick.

A graphic novel from one of my favorite comic book artist guys around. This one is a strange tale of the future that I’m not even going to try to describe. I really dig Pope’s art.

This has been on my reading list for a long time and while it lived up to the cool-looking 90s B&W cyberpunk dystopic aesthetic I was expecting, it surprised me by only using that as a backdrop. It's really about relationships, people finding each other and needing each other to navigate a wild future.
