    Stunning artwork and a plot that makes me want Chapter 2 NOW! Grounded in 21st century real life plus a science lesson that I understood seamlessly woven in. A must read, must follow, for adults and young people alike. A new and critical hero is among us.

    The storyline was decent. The assortment of mini stories directly after by apparently different and not as gifted artists takes away the glow and flow of the central story. Still,it is worth the price. I bought what appears to be the whole series.
