Title: Not ready to publish
Review: This graphic novel is a series of short stories set on a colonist planet during a global civil war (North vs South), sometime in the far future. Most of the stories have an ironic twist, which reminded me of the old "Weird War Tales" of the American comic genre of the 60's-70's. However, that element is probably the best thing going for the publication.The manga art was sketchy and often difficult to tell what exactly was going on. The storylines tried to encompass too much and left the reader relying on narration to explain in long winded detail, what was happening. The characters were... just there. I wasn't able to get emotionally involved wth any of the characters because it seemed almost as if they were there only to break up the narration of the war updates.I think this would be an excellent publication if the authors devoted an entire graphic novel to each of the stories presented, and spent time developing the characters and plots.
