It is difficult to enjoy this comic when the Detective is so insufferable and does not appreciate or respect Emma one bit. When reading a mystery, I prefer to read one where it is possible to piece it together yourself. This comic does not allow for that. All essential information is revealed as the Detective reveals them, and not a moment before. This makes the mystery aspect incredibly dull. I like the art style and Emma is an interesting character, I just wish she was utilized to her full potential here.
