Chaos in graphic novel form. That's the best way I can describe this. Magic, mystery, mythology? This story is ALL over the place, but it is pretty entertaining. Things were a complete mind boggle for about 90% of this volume, but I finally feel like I have a little bit of a handle on this series. I like the characters a lot and I love the graphics (with the exception of April's eyes...they weird me out). I was giving the series this volume to get me hooked and I'm going to go ahead and call that a success. I'm still on the fringes, but I'm moving forward with the next installment.
