This comic is set in this 7174 A.D. world, where there is a post-apocalyptic surroundings, especially the people around who are living in it. It seems that the each character is introduced, either fighting on working on different items, like cars or the engines inside. There also seems to be no dialogue at all, when things are blowing up and when things are happening surrounding them.
This first story is kind of confusing, and it goes one direction but, there is no real direction in the story. I really think that this comic is more “showing” than it is “telling” about how 7174, and also how fractured it is, within the world and also among the people. There is also a point of this grim-reaper character that comes up frequently. Many times haunting the characters about the decisions they make.
In the second story called Mr. and Mrs., it seems to tells a relationship between this robot and monster combined, and his relationship with a woman. This woman is also on a hunt to find something, but she quickly falls in love with the monster. The monsters name is the “Nabler”, and constantly keeps thanking this woman for her love and affection.
What I liked about the comic, is immediately the art style is different. Most of the comic is in black and white, unique from any indie comic book I have read. The art also is very detailed with some of the action sequences, without any writing. One of the downfalls of this comic is that it needs more story. Not just fractured pieces, that try in go in one direction. It needs more of a developed story that can tell the reader something. I honestly do not know where the story is going to end up at.
