That artwork and layout does not appeal to me one bit. Glad it worked for you….

Hahah definitely not for everyone. I went into it blind myself, mostly intrigued by the blurb. Thanks for reading. 🙂

Sounds fascinating. I like when a single creator is able to bring most of their vision to fruition, being both writer and illustrator, though it’s also fun to see the results of collaborations between creators. I wasn’t immediately drawn to the style of artwork but I suspect I’d begin to better appreciate it as I get into the actual story content. Same thing has happened to me with 100 Bullets where I found the art to be an acquired taste, but one I did acquire as I continued reading. Now I enjoy it. Glad to see you enjoyed this one! Any idea if it’s a standalone complete story or the beginning of a series?

I always find it challenging but usually, when the writer is also the illustrator, it also means that that person is passionate about their story! 😀 Yep, the art had to grow on me too but then I saw through what Juni Ba was trying to achieve and I appreciate the ambition! You’re so right about 100 Bullets hahahah I think it’ll remain a stand-alone story. I doubt he’ll make it into a series. I do hope he gets picked up for other projects at TKO or by other publishers. He has a talent someone needs to promote! 😀 Thanks for reading, Todd! I always appreciate it, my friend.

I honestly wouldn’t have been drawn to it as the art is just not my jam. But hey that shows that we don’t all have similar taste and that’s great else life would be so boring!

The art looks different. Intriguing kind of. Not sure if good or bad, though.

Only the story can justify the style then. 😉
