Reading the print issues so I guess this review is for issue one and 2 in one. I liked it a lot. I like when comics tell grounded tales. Not that I don't enjoy superhero and sci fi books it's just a nice change of pace. Especially when they are well crafted like this.

Art i beautiful but with little facial expressions - 7 Story telling is a - 8 But the dialog is really bad with the f' bombs and gd' bombs feeling out of place and even taking you out of the story when it is said. there was plenty of room for editing as well, with lots of things could have been said using less words - 4 This is my first Snyder book as I say story good but atrocious dialog so not that impressed with him so far
