This story is so disturbing and strange. It felt mostly like the author tried to shock the reader and forgot the plot in the meantime. I don't get it at all. Nah, nothing for me.

Strangely goofy and disturbing.

It held my interest, but I'm still not sure what I think of it. The story is both bizarre and disturbing, yet whimsical at times. The fact that it was written a page a month over 8 years was pretty evident as the story progressed and then just abruptly cut off. Its an interesting endeavor, but I don't have any interest in reading the next installment...in 2016.

Meh. Maybe this is a work in progress and when all volumes are complete (only volume 1 is available) I'll have a greater appreciation for the "story." However, as is, there is no real story and it just seems like weird, slightly connected doodles for the sake of doodling. More like an ongoing art project than a "book," per se.

I got a publisher's preview copy of this from work. Josh Simmons drew 1 page every month for 8 years and will continue to do so as he creates other volumes. The problem with this is that he seems to have lost all concepts of what the story would be. This graphic novel make absolutely NO sense! It is full of characters who are there for one or two pages and never properly introduced. It is full of violence, sex and nudity that has NOTHING to do with the story. I have yet to figure out who the heck Jessica is and whether these things are happening in her imagination or in her real life. Maybe in 42 years when the whole series is finished it will make sense, but I seriously doubt it. All I know is that in 2016 I will NOT be reading volume 2.
