I will check out the rest of the episodes, as I have never read Dan Hipp's comics - his art style is very interesting - certainly not for all, but well polished.
The plot is interesting, but poked along by a narrator who tends to confuse more than narrate. The "character" of the narrator seems pushy at times, jumping into the story when completely unnecessary to give details of past or future events, and repeating crap about how there is no love or joy. we get it. there is no love or joy. don't mention it every 10 minutes. I felt I was being treated like a child, who needed someone to explain every last disjointed detail.
