This comic book tires to give us an exciting blend of action and martial arts wrapped in a unique premise, but unfortunately, it falls short in execution. Which had really disappointed me a lot because I had some high hopes for this comic book because I have read some very good comic books recently.

The storyline in this book feels rushed and somewhat underdeveloped which had left me with more questions than answers and little emotional connection to the characters. Which had disappointed me a bit.

The pacing in this comic book is pretty uneven, with scenes that jump quickly without sufficient buildup or payoff.

The concept of this comic book has had some potential. But the narrative doesn’t do enough to fully explore it or create a compelling hook.

The artwork in this comic book is competent but overall lacks the detail and energy needed to elevate the story or make the action sequences truly engaging. Overall, the visuals feel generic and don’t leave a lasting impression.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
