I'm hovering at close to 2 1/2 stars. I shouldn't have set my hopes so high. :/ 
 The premise just looked SO promising--star-crossed lovers...taboo hybrid baby...science vs. magic--I finally ordered it. It wasn't terrible, but I'm afraid it's ultimately not one I can recommend. I'll try to break down my reasoning point by point. 
 What This Reviewer Liked: 
 *The art style was appealing, in both color pallet usage and stylized attention to detail--watercolor and grit. Well suited to a speculative fantasy/dystopian tale. 
 *The narrative style was unique, giving the book a periodic autobiographical feel in the background as the plot-centric baby, Hazel, shows us the story behind her first week of life after her birth. 
 *Izabel, as a midway-introduced side character, was terrific. Her personality offsets the main characters with a lackadaisical sarcasm all her own. 
 What This Reviewer Didn't Like: 
 *The extensive concept recycling was one of my biggest gripes. I was expecting some sort of epic piece of original sci-fi, and instead it came across more like a choppy 'Furries In Space' mashup. (Pointless war, stereotypical bounty hunters, people with TV's for heads, and...ghosts. Just because.) It was almost as though the world building was glossed over in favor of a more fantasy pop-culture impression. Very little divergence in terminology, slang, curses, etc. (For this reader, it made the experience far less immersive than it had the potential to be.) 
 *Character chemistry wasn't quite believable for me--particularly between the hero and heroine. Don't get me wrong...I love to see the pairing of a strong/surly female with a soldier's mentality and a more sensitive, Zen, beta-male (Zoe and Wash, anyone? *broken sobs*). But in this case, the dynamic between the male and female MCs just didn't work for me. It doesn't help that the readers aren't privileged with an explanation of how these two somehow forged a marriage-worthy bond in the first place. They, like the side-characters, ultimately came across as depth-less and cliche' rather than as actual people one could relate to. 
 *This graphic novel crossed over into pornographic several times (even beyond the obligatory sex-planet scene.) Nudity and even grotesqueness I can handle, but this seemed to be graphic purely for the sake of being graphic. It was as though it was trying to be edgy but didn't quite make it past awkward.
