Review of Volumes 1 & 2

The Grinning Demon has reviewed the first two volumes.

The writing nicely balances high action with quiet character moments doing everyday things; a family meal, chatting with the girl you like, some suspicious behaviour, and the best dishwashing scene I have read in comics. There’s a lovely sense of nostalgia through the books, the last days of summer, the oddly backwards technology, Roman’s letters to his absent father, and the sepia tint to the colours which tinges things with a bit of sadness too.
