Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of this book.
While I wasn't the biggest fan of this book, I do think it would make a good addition to a graphic novel section in any library. It was very interesting and I liked the concept. I just don't think that it was very well executed. The first 40 or so pages were great and then it went down hill from there. While I think that the story devolved into a convoluted mess, there was something to it and the artwork was gorgeous. I think that fans of X-Files, Indiana Jones, or the Delilah Dirk series would probably like this series as well.

This is the start of a series and is fun and adventurous.

This plot has potential but this was so slow going and not much really happening but for the explanation of the lore of this story. There is a side code/puzzle but no clue or even how to start deciphering it to make it add any extra for this story.

I could easily become addicted to this series. It had me reaching for google trying to decide if the author was creating things, or using real things found in our world. It’s all real. This book is about the various ciphers and found objects that still have no translation, or have a conspiracy theory wrapped around them like the Voynich manuscript and the hidden ciphers in Pomp and Circumstance. Plus the author and illustrator have put in a cipher for the reader to decipher. I love how the creators put all these various conspiracy theories into one story, about what will either be the end of the world, or the beginning of a new one. If you are a fan of National Treasure or the Davinci Code, pick up this GN. If you are not a fan, Pick it up anyway. It was awesome. Plus, there is a majorly cute dog with a gas problem.
