The premise and word-building hold promise but the story itself didn't engage me. The dialogue is intermittently fun and quippy but then drags or sounds rote at times, and the art perhaps is just not my style, a bright mythic fantasy look, but it's the eyes that bother me, everyone, at least the protagonists, seems to have wide open bright-blue eyes, which leads me to another distraction, one of them has an Asian surname despite the characters looking like they're from Beverly Hills 90201, so I don't know if this is a clever statement or more like Firefly where it was written diverse and then thrown away at casting time. Also, common in sci-fi plague stories, I feel there's a hint of anti-vax message in there.

Hmm. I did and did not like this. It started off great! A post apocalyptic world, far enough into the future that nature has reclaimed buildings and where the people live in Central Park, NYC. But then all of a sudden there were Giant Trolls, and fairies and other mythical creatures. I'm not a huge fantasy fan but kept reading because I wanted to give this a fair chance and the premise sounded ok, but in the end it just felt like there was too much going on. Too many different factions/creatures, too many different parties out on the world. It seemed to be moving too fast for 6 issues. That said, the writing is pretty good, and the art wasn't bad. It just didn't keep my attention like I had hoped it would.
