A very exciting and engrossing introduction to this sci-fi/fantasy epic. Switching between 80's America to outer-space to the time of King Arthur, the scenes last just long enough to get invested but not long enough to fully understand what is happening. I felt pulled along by my own wonder and curiosity throughout and can't wait to see if the next volume can start fulfilling the massive promises of this beginning.

I found this story really hard to follow. The drawings are all in black and white, and the male characters look really similar, making it difficult for me to remember who's who. Not exactly my cup of tea, but not terrible either.

This was heck of big fun. The art's fabulous, the story somehow took me back to my teenage years...it's a wild, sprawling, dramatic, magic-filled space opera with pretty people who have pretty hair. The look (and some of the tech) reminded me strongly of 80s fashion and media, especially the TV show Jem. Remember Jem? That was fun. And so is this.

Great artwork, but the dated style really bugged me. Story didn't make much sense either and I just didn't love it.

Beautifully drawn story with intricate world-building. A personal fave.
