The perfect kind of comic book: tough ladies, weird aliens, and beautiful colors. ( )

SO GOOD! Already put the second one on hold at the library! ( )

I tried to read this slower than I did, but I couldn't help myself. The story was full of mystery and adrenaline. I want more! I hope #2 isn't far behind.

I love the world that Westerfeld built in the Zone. The untied phenomenon that occurs around every turn in the exposed town. I also like that there wasn't a dire need to tie all those loose ends by the end of the story. In a good way, I am left with more questions than answers. But in this case, I would call that 'intrigue'.

As for the illustrator, Alex Puvilland did a wonderful job with the story. The faces of the characters seem to be the least detailed of everything drawn, very minimalistic. But aside from that the way that Puvilland drew motion and large scenes were incredible. Great use of space and linework. The vertical spread on pages 147, 148 is my favorite in the story. The color Hilary Sycamore added married very well with the linework and story. So many awesome color combinations were added to the Zone so as to further push the boundaries of "weird".

This will easily go into my collection of beloved comics. I eagerly await a sequel! ( )

Creepy, weird, and quite appealing -- I am looking forward to how this adventure unfolds. Oh yeah, still very high on the creep factor this read through. Boy, am I interested in what happens next. ( )
