Each character featured is given ample amounts of page space to tell their story. The art is great in bringing a strong visual cue to readers.

    Laid-out perfectly in text outlines...it’s interesting to see some of the ideas that Johns is working with. The decision to have a supernatural darkness behind the founding fathers is particularly weird given the fact that they were such dark figures historically to begin with. Modern values tend to be rightly critical of things like extreme wealth, forcing others to die for your cause and owning slaves. Why rely so heavily on the concept of some magical fire to explain away the darkness? It’s a bit strange. Read Full Review
