Ben Templesmith's art is incredible in this volume (though it can be difficult to make out everything that is happening). The writing is less so. Great premise, but it didn't feel adequately evolved, edited for story arc, or copyedited in some cases.

Templesmith is at his best when the work doesn't take itself too seriously. Wormwood: Gentlemen Corpse is a better read for those that want to give this author a try.
