I really enjoy this first volume. Tyler Jenkins' art is incredible and Matt Kindt builds out a few key characters with a great little plot. There is a bit of a jarring genre change after this one. The very notion of this book is somewhat politically charged with the flaws of its thinking on display. I like that Kindt and Jenkins can highlight the appeal and the flaws of this type of withdrawn isolationism without ever making a meal of it. That is the setting, not the plot of this series.

3.5. Interesting premise, intriguing characters, semi-unique setting and nice enough watercolor art. I'm interested enough to keep reading, but I kinda dragged through this one because the story didn't "grab" me.

Beautiful artwork. An investigative mystery set in a small, self-sufficient community.

A interesting story of 3 brothers and the kingdom they control just outside the near by town. Drama, mystery, family problems... it's all here. At times it reminds me of the great works written by Jason Aaron and Jeff Lemire.
