Danielle: Oh, I wasn't trying to accuse the artist of stealing either. Just that it reminded me of Helling based on similarities in tone and art style.

It's an interesting concept and a really good hook, but I've never been a fan of splatter.

Andrew -- I've seen an online comparison of Hellsing art and Jack Frost art and...well. The comparison was a little damning....but I don't like to make accusations of stealing, when "inspiration" (um. A LOT of inspiration?) is more likely...I hope.

I read this in the first few issues of Yen Plus that I picked up. I liked it at first, but by chapter 3 or 4 of it, I found myself looking more at the art and not even bothering to read the story, which was kind of like Hellsing, but not as batsh*t insane...

Good point -- the art is quite stylish and modern. But the story...well, I guess we'll see how that pans out...

I remember read this, and liking it. I think it was mostly the art though. I remember it was sort of stylishly cool.
