I read this at the library cause I like Eddie Campbell enough to give anything he's involved in a shot. Some occasional very good moments, but not a good book.

An odd book, nicely drawn and well packaged, but lacking any heart and a good bit of cohesion. Eddie Campbell's art is always a bit uneven - here, it's pretty good, though he struggles to make action sequences understandable.
The story has a solid core, but it's told too quickly and with loads of briefly introduced characters. Nothing quite sticks or adds up in the end.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this -- I've been impressed with many books from First Second Publishing -- it just didn't happen. A good editor may have helped the storytelling along, unless the disjointed nature of the plot is purposeful in some way.

Campbell's storytelling, which I (probably like a lot of people) first encountered in Alan Moore stories like From Hell and the Birth Caul, always has a visceral punch to it that makes almost everything he produces a one-sitting read. My only criticism is that for purchase or even library check-out, it's too short - this took me like, 20 minutes to read, I think.
