Ratings and reviews

Really good read. The modern day part is better than the futuristic part, but we'll worth a look, especially as it's non-Marvel

An awesome read from start to finish . Would've loved a little more elaboration as things really started getting explained towards the end but all in all. It was pretty good.

A story that spans centuries is hard to come by. A good pre-apocalyptic to post-apocalyptic storyline that hangs the fate of humanity in the balance is harder to come by. A fantastic read from beginning to end, blending elements of horror and elements of action/adventure into one breathtaking graphic novel of epic proportions.
