I wanted to like this title, even before I picked it up, because it's Margaret Atwood. And I loved the image on the cover. The art is sleek and sexy and uncomplicated. And while that is true of the art, the story itself was a let down. It felt rushed and way too simple. I tried really hard to like it, and to convince myself that the simple story-line hearkened back to the glory days of comics when they weren't so dark and serious. But in reality, it just wasn't told well to meet the needs of a comic book reader. There is no character development, and I hate to say it but really there is nothing unique or deep about any of the characters. They are stereotypical roles and 2D to the point of being very boring. Despite such a bad review, I probably will pick up volume two, since it just came out this month. It's a very fast read, so even if it's as bad as this one (I'm still holding out hope it gets better) it won't be a waste of time.
