I'll be honest, I wasn't a massive fan of the art style the first time I skimmed through it, but it's a very unique style that's grown on me since then. I wish this artist illustrated Act II.

Pretty much the only problem I had with it was how short it was. But even so, they managed to fit in a lot of character and story in this little thing, so overall it's a solid graphic novel. In particular, I loved how they portrayed Hunter's naivete. There were stark visual differences between the reality of what was happening and his perception of what was happening, and I just think it was done incredibly well.

I would sell my soul to Casey himself for him to keep making these. I want to see more! MORE!!!!
