It may be too soon to tell whether this graphic novel series is going to work for me. I liked volume 1 enough to want to keep going. The plot is intriguing, with tons of unanswered questions and a premise that seems to have potential. On the other hand -- what is going on? What is the purpose of this sadistic school? What's the goal here, and how do the six main characters fit in? I felt as though this first book mainly just set the stage, but whether I ultimately keep going with the series will depend on whether there's a pay-off that makes this initial part worthwhile. We'll see.
