Ratings and reviews

I really like the ultimate reality type of setup. the characters are believable and you feel as though they can do what they say they can. The art is also exceptional and the use of colour is also very well done. It helps to emphasize the various realities that these characters interact with. There's a twist that takes place within the first chapter that caught me off guard and boy is it a doozy. I wholeheartedly recommend this to fans of alternate timeline stories.

This is a great alternate reality. Well drawn. Crazy story. At first I was just stunned. Now I can't stop. I need more!

Must have for those looking for something different.
