  In 2021, I picked up this trade just after it received Eisner nominations for “Best New Series”, “Best Continuing Series”, and “Best Writer”. Tynion went on to win “Best Writer” for his body of work in 2021. In 2022, both the series and Tynion are recognized with nominations again (“Best Continuing Series” and “Best Writer”). Volume 1 was extremely well-developed and well-executed. It’s intended to be dark and heavy, but manages to be intelligent and engrossing. Simmonds art is very fitting for the theme (reminds of a combination of Sienkiewicz and Maleev). I loved this book.

  A lot of hype for this, coming down the pipe from friends and online sources... I was very excited. The first issue seemed really cool. Then as I began to read through the next issue, I started to catch the slight of hand and the cracks started to show. The writers think they are clever, and they are touching on all the hot topics and the "right buttons", but they only pretend to offer this from a non-partisan POV. I began to see the hints of double speak seep through, and the spell was lost.
