Rating: WARTY!
I found this series in the close-out section of my local comic book store and it looked interesting (especially the imitation of the Andrew Wyeth painting Christina's World on the cover of issue 5), so I picked up issues 2 through 5. Issue one wasn't available. I figured that despite missing one, I ought to be able to get a good feel for the series from this selection and be able to decide whether it was worth keeping up with. I didn't get a good feel from it, so I quit after issue five, which is as far as my commitment went. Note that I'm using the word 'issue' here to distinguish from the later collections, which are referred to as volumes.
I have to say that the cover art work in this series far surpasses the content in quality! That's quite a novelty for me. Usually I am not a fan of covers, so kudos to Mr Perker. In issue three, Blythe and crew are trapped in Miramar, the country which no longer exists on a map and which therefore (apparently) you cannot get to unless you have Blythe's magic power. The blurb for volume 2 has Blythe returning to Sky 1 base, and we're told, ridiculously: "From there, out of desperatation to unravel the truth from the lies..." Desperatation is some serious kind of desperation! Maybe it's her prescription drug addiction which is causing these feelings?
This issue wasn't entertaining either, and merely served to confuse matters more than issue one had already succeeded in doing admirably.
