This is probably the strongest Ellis work I've read to date. All his characteristic darkness is here but the condensed nature of the structure imposes some restraint on him that really works in his favour. Templesmith's art is stunning and complements Ellis' style perfectly with its scuzzy beauty giving it a Se7en-esque vibe and bringing the grimy, run down city to life, whilst still allowing some hope and light to bleed through the cracks. Each individual story works well, but it's the bigger picture that's most intriguing, which is why it's such a shame that it's still on hiatus. I definitely want to read more so here's hoping they eventually deliver.
