When I first heard about this series it was that it was opted for film before the first issue was even released, resulting in that initial issue running for around $40 and up (which if you aren't a reader of comics... ahem,that's pretty damn high - what with your typical single issue running around $3.99). That alone had me intrigued, though still cautious, since we all know that just because something is opted for film doesn't mean it's good. In this case, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can absolutely see this playing out on screen. 
 This book really cements the fact that I ironically struggle with most sci-fi novels (not out of an inability to keep up but more out of sheer boredom of the technological descriptions and otherwise). Yet, when given that imagery (be it a comic or a film) I latch on completely and sci-fi finds itself, yet again, up there with my love of fantasy. I so adored this little story, finishing it in one trip on the train into Portland and back. Can't wait to read the next installment!
