The beginning of this book feels like yet another universe-building book that feels like it will force the reader to remember a ton of minute details, but quickly after the universal drama, the story gets back to being a very personal small-scope book. Lemire does an excellent job in this book - like in many of his other works - of focusing a lot on his characters and giving the book a very personal feel. Nguyen's watercolor art is a great compliment to Lemire's storytelling that the book ends quicker than you realize... or would want. I cannot wait for the next issue to see how this unique story unfolds.
