⚔️Very interesting concept with MC reminiscent to Sephiroth in regards to character motives.
⚔️Heavy cyberpunk atmosphere w/future-noir setting & premise.
⚔️Spectacular artwork!
⚔️Jarring & confusing intro that's got disorienting action sequences. Smooths out mid-way thru.
⚔️Follows tropes: unreliable leader/diety, misunderstood & betrayed hero, vengeance.
⚔️While 1st vol was mediocre, series has potential to be great.
⚔️3.5/5.

A Black Friday #comicbento. This one was book one in a series and did a good job of world building and creating stakes. It was a lot of set up though, and not a lot of payout. Also there was a lot of made up slang with is not my favorite thing.
