Much of the art in this book is very pretty, but I judge comic artists by how well they draw horses, and the horses in this book are, at times, embarrassingly bad. The artist obviously never referred to photo references, instead relying on his imagination, and the results are predictably cringe-worthy. This is a good indicator that the artist didn't care much about what he was doing, and I prefer not to waste time on lazy art.

All the characters in this book either look like perfect magazine models, or they are grotesque caricatures. The female characters are consistently objectified for the male gaze, and there is profuse and extreme violence throughout the book. This book could also really use trigger warnings for child abuse and rape, and lacks any, which is why I stopped reading partway through.

Sloppy, stereotypical, promotes violence as entertainment, and is not worth my time. 1.5 stars.
