Did not finish book.
DNF because the introduction of the romantic b-plot killed my motivation to keep reading.

I really wanted to love this comic. The premise is like a morally bankrupt version of X-men, just with telepaths instead of mutants, and the art is the kind of sumptuously detailed eye candy I expect from Image titles. But the plot meandered and stalled, with philosophical monologues that felt nigh pointless and an ending that, well, happened. Maybe it develops in subsequent volumes, but this one fell flat for me.

Sometimes you just really need something adorable and Star Wars-y. Everything Jeffrey Brown does gives me all kinds of mushy feelings, and this, with its mixture of cute kid stuff and nostalgia, is no exception.
