It's boring at best, there is no real character development as some people suggest, and the drawings are bleak and uninteresting. people get all excited over this kind of comics just because it's "real" and "mature", but that's not the point. i don't have any problem with mature stories, i have a problem with BAD stories. i read this book and i though is highly overrated.
