Wow. Just... wow. I almost don't know where to start when it comes to writing about this volume. The art is absolutely stunning, literally every page could easily be hung in a gallery on its own. There's a definite manga style quality to it, giving the comic a truly unique feel. And the story, wow. Marjorie Lui should be on everyone's watchlist. If she doesn't take off and become one of the most respected writers in the comics industry, it'll truly be a crime. There is so much lore and universe building in the plot that I'm begging for this to be a long-running series as I'm already buzzing with conspiracy theories. I can't recall anything that I've read in the past that comes up close to this, it's almost like Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro can together with Princess Mononoke and created a dark dreamworld. And I never want to leave.
