Had I known this graphic novel was about military shape shifters, I might have picked it up sooner. The events in the story are not told in chronological order, so it can be a bit challenging to keep up. However, this feels like one of those stories that come together more as you are given more context. There are still a lot of questions I had by the end, but this is a solid first volume. There is a lot of representation as well. The main character is a lesbian and her partner is a person of color. There are also other characters in the story of various ethnicities and nationalities. There is a lot of violence and graphic nudity, so if you are light of heart, this may not be the comic for you. This has left me intrigued though, and I plan on continuing to read subsequent volumes.
