First late me state that this book is insane in a very good way. Second for those who were fans of the original mini series this is going to be a major departure for you, especially artwork wise.

I jumped right into this book without the slightest idea of what it was about. I can say that not only was it enjoyable, but I was genuinely surprised with how the two stories merged from their initial start.
