Ok, loved this story. The artwork is amazing and goes so well with the darker undertones to the story that just gradually creep up on you in the text; the artwork hints at it from the very beginning. The story doesn't pull any punches, either, and while I kind of foresaw the ending, it didn't diminish the way it was revealed, either. The girl I bought this from at the comic store said it was "kind of a downer." I disagree, although I saw why she might think that. For fear of spoilers I'll just say that I thought the story was more redemptive than anything else, and definitely worth reading.
