What I Liked


✔Interesting concept for the story

✔Good dialogue and decent character development

✔Pacing was good

✔Issue really provides some good food for thought about making choices.



What I Didn’t Like


✘Not crazy about the art. It seemed a bit blurry and the checkered shading wasn't done very well

✘A lot of mystery and intrigue, but not much in the way of answers by the end of the issue.


Themes:


  • Everyone has a gift, but it's up to each person to decide whether to use it for self or to better the lives of others.

  • It's never too late to make a positive change and alter the course of your life.


Score:


8/10
