This was an incredibly creative and unique graphic novel. The tone of it reminds a lot of Willingham's Fables series. This is all about a story within a story and fictional stories suddenly having pull in the real world.

The characters were well done and interesting. The illustration (while not my favorite color pallette) was detailed and fairly easy to follow. Illustration is very similar in style to the Fables series as well.

At times this story wasn't the easiest to follow. It jumps around a bit and there are many layers to the story. As a result this is a story that you really have to pay attention to and concentrate on to follow. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it makes for a very intriguing and creative read.

Overall I really found this to be an interesting read and was impressed at the depth of the characters and the breadth of the story. I plan on continuing with the series because I am curious to see where this whole thing goes.... I would recommend to those who are into the whole "stories leaking into real life" type of story.
