This comic has such an awesome story! Such a cool idea! But unfortunately it was kind of hard to follow. A lot of dialogue and close-up shots of faces, it's easy to get lost as there are few really unique establishing shots. There's a bit of same-face going on with two of the female characters and a lot of hopping around in time. You are warned about the time hops with font that I kept reading in the Babylon 5 voice: "The year was 2374. The place: The Vihaan II."

The art style is good and very reminiscent of mecha anime (I thought of "Big O" while my partner thought "Gundam"), the colors are bright and are sometimes your only clue as to who in the heck is talking. Very reliant on blurring the edges for a cheap and quick depth-of-field illusion and sometimes a bit hard to determine what's what and who's who.

The ending did make me gasp and immediately open up volume 2...
