Maybe I'm the only one reading this book around here, but it is very good. Unlike anything else I've seen. It's speculative fiction set in a very real world we could find ourselves in with just a few disasters.
Dark and brooding.

ah, I dunno. I like the world-setting, but haven't, even after seven issues, found any character I care to follow, and it's so easy to guess where the story's going right now, I no longer care about it. Finding the same problem I've had with several other of Wood's longer titles: I find I enjoy the worlds created, and then find myself indifferent to the characters inhabiting those worlds. Happened for me with DMZ, with the Viking story, and now, here.

pretty much my sentiments exactly. This was the first issue I didn't pick up. I like the story, the world-building, etc. But I just haven't had any kind of emotional attachment to it yet.

...I am loving Wood's Conan though!
