As much as the idea was a gamble to start, the payoff didn't really make its case. The writing relies too much on its' gimmick to move the story forward. Readers get solid action through the chaotic scenario. Both back-up stories are great but not enough to salvage its' lead-in. Read Full Review
Wildly generic main story. Decent first back up story. Ron Frenz art in the last??? I'll give it a bump just for that.
Gotta admit, both back-ups were much more enjoyable reads than whatever that main story was.
