Well, yeah, but this one actually has quite a bit of potential. A minor  quibble first: the lettering was kind of messy in places. I&#8217;ve never  understood how somebody could spend days or longer on a page and then  rush through the lettering, but it happens all the time. It&#8217;s not <em>that<\/em> bad, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but with a little care it could be a lot  better, and it would add a lot to the book. There&#8217;s quite a bit of a  story here. It starts off with a young woman (we learn in the intro to  #2 that she&#8217;s a lesbian, although I don&#8217;t think that is ever so much as  implied anywhere) waking up in a hospital after trying to kill herself,  and it goes all over the place from there. There&#8217;s a man who&#8217;s dying  from a brain tumor, a woman who used to date him, another couple that&#8217;s  having problems, an old ex that comes back at the worst possible time&#8230;  all kinds of stuff to keep track of but, from what I can tell from the  first two issues, it&#8217;s worth the effort. The writing seems real,  although a bit heavy at times. That&#8217;s to be expected from the subject  matter though. The art&#8217;s good too, although there&#8217;s a bit of trouble  with perspective once in a great while. All in all an intriguing series,  I&#8217;m interested in seeing how all of these characters tie together.
