Do ensombramento causado pelas expectativas de assombro
Depois de Mind MGMT é impossível não ficar com um sentimento de "aquém" relativamente às expectativas criadas de roda de algo escrito pelo Kindt.

I had been coveting this at my local comic book shop for what has had to have been months, and I’m glad I finally got around to reading it. At first I wasn’t sure if I liked the plot, but as it finished up I liked it. The art is fantastic and I loved Robert and Maria and the motley crew of characters in the Grass Kingdom. The imagery, especially the mix of backwoods urban fantasy in the last chapter, was awesome. In particular I liked the mix of horses and gas masks and stuff like that. One of the cover variants in the back with Robert wearing a crown of rail road ties and shards of glass literally blew me away. I deeply enjoyed this.

I really enjoy this first volume. Tyler Jenkins' art is incredible and Matt Kindt builds out a few key characters with a great little plot. There is a bit of a jarring genre change after this one. The very notion of this book is somewhat politically charged with the flaws of its thinking on display. I like that Kindt and Jenkins can highlight the appeal and the flaws of this type of withdrawn isolationism without ever making a meal of it. That is the setting, not the plot of this series.
