[Ryan Haupt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ambiguous endings are often the best kind. This reminded me in some ways of The Butterfly Effect as a very cerebral and psychological take on sci-fi and reality bending. I was nervous at first that the cast of characters would be too large to care about but within pages that was fixed only to be reintroduced in such a way that it was easy to follow. Yet another well crafted tale from Mr. McNamara.

"Trust me; the world will seem like a different place after you've had some sleep." Alicia is afraid to go to sleep because when she does people die, towns disappear, and reality shifts. Took me a bit to get into, mostly because the crudely drawn black-and-white artwork make it difficult to follow at times but ultimately, a pretty cool little science-fiction story with an interesting twist at the end.

Kind of a fun punk, sci fi graphic novel which has a feeling, theme, and art style that reminds me a lot of Vertigo stuff back from when I was a teenager. Kind of a silly ending though.

The story was quite good, if not that original, and the grimness of Alicia's imagined world comes across really well in the black and white drawings.
