Ratings and reviews

Read the first issue and was intrigued enough to buy the tpb as part of the New 52 tpb sale on Play. Unfortunately, after the first issue my interest and desire to continue waned. The art was okay and actually attempted to fit the period of the story, but it was mainly just talking heads with a 'burning' background with no detail for any surroundings. The writing was also okay, but the storyline faltered enough that it hurt my interest in the book. Sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend.
