Thank you so much to IDW Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC; it is greatly appreciated. 

My dumbass went into this thinking it was a graphic novel, when it is, in fact, a comic book, so imagine my surprise at how few pages there were ! The art style is certainly eye-catching, and we are instantly thrown into the story, but there were elements that I found confusing. 

There were several moments where it was difficult to tell what was actual dialogue, and what was someone's thoughts. I'm no stranger to Graphic Novels and Comics, so I was surprised this kept happening. I also had to flip back and forth between pages a few times, because the jump in scences made it seem like a page or two were missing. It just really seemed like we were missing some info. 

The motivation for these characters seems to be saving the world, and to do that they need to stop America from being founded. However, we don't really learn more than that in this first volume. If they do succeed on their mission to kill Columbus, then what's stopping someone else from "discovering" America ? What exactly did America do to cause the apocalypse ? The events that the comic describes seem more like the effects of climate change, which is a world wide issue. 

Overall, the art and the characters themselves are the main draw for me at the moment. The plot seems weak, but that is something that can be improved as the story progresses. With volume 1 we are definitely left with a ton of questions, and, as always, we'll have to read on to learn more.
