A dark, violent, and utterly alien cybernetic dystopia, where no one can remember what the ground or the sky are like and new horrors lurk around every corner. Exactly the sort of setting, storytelling, and characters I love, I really should have read this ages ago, and started to at one point, but then never kept up. Because I’m dumb. Tons of pages without a single speech bubble or sound effect as our protagonist makes his way through the enormous superstructure that is our setting, a construct literally thousands upon thousands of stories tall, searching for people with unmutated genes, while fighting off any threats that present themselves. Not a happy work by any means, lots of time spent alone, and even when he does meet up with someone not trying to kill him, they usually end up dead anyways from yet another mutant or cyborg. Really good stuff, and I’m going to be sad when I get through the three volumes I have, as I know I’ll be completely hooked by then.
