I read the issue last night... finally!

I liked it. If I had to say what it reminded me of, it would be IDW's Aleister Arcane because of the ambience. The setting is a sombre one, and the characters reflect that. It also reminds me of Caliber's Baker Street, because it takes place in a an alternative underworld, that is described convincingly. Sometimes authors/artists do a pop-culture view of these types of people/places and it's really gross to me. Sullen-Grey does it right.

The art was interesting. I think the line quality was loose and free, rendering elongated forms that are stlyistic/graphic in nature. Reminiscent of Vince Locke's work when he started Deadworld with Arrow comics.

The story is rich and layered. Each main character's introduction was well written because it seemed effortless for the writer to get me interested in them. The writer has this neat way of showing what people are thinking, where some panels depict what a character WANTS to d ,instead of what he really does. Quite enjoyable!

However, there were scenes that I couldn't figure out. Some pages depicted a world infested by zombies, and then the follwoing pages showed the same world zombie free. I'm wondering if those were projections of how the character feels about the world, foresight? memory? It's unclear to me at this point. Saying that, I'd suggest the artist treat the panels that don't actually take place in the main timeline differently, by either drawing them sketchy, or duo-toned... something to show, in a consistent way through the book, that 'this is memory, imagined, or foresight'.

I'd recommend you pick this one up!
