With a very interesting looking cover, this book doesn’t really give any insight to what might be waiting for you on the inside. Following a girl named Dee, she has a bad hip and walks with a cane. One day, she’s sitting in a booth in a local diner, and a man approaches her with a strange request. He wants to pay her $500 a day to do some kind of mysterious work, neither she or the man will get in trouble from it, it’s a win-win.

Who would turn that down? Especially in the financial situation that she’s in, she can’t. So she does it, she makes a routine of it, and she gets her money. The only thing she learns from this, is that money really isn’t everything, and that she is forced to stay in it, unable to simply walk away. She stockpiles her money, waiting for the day she’s able to leave. It doesn’t come in this book, however.
One thing I loved especially was the chain link filler pages when they broke up the individual comics, I thought that was really unique. The story itself is really dark and interesting, but it just wasn’t one of my favourites, I kind of felt lost reading it. The artwork is really unique though, and it’s something you just don’t see in every comic out there. I think the art and the story fit well together, and if you think it’s something you’d like to check out, I’d say go for it! Just because it’s not my favourite, doesn’t mean it can’t be yours.
