I came across this graphic novel at a public libray and flipped through it.
The author, Josh Simmons, decided in January 2000 that he'd draw one page of
this story every month and eight years later in December 2007, he had
accumulated enough pages to publish volume one. The next volume isn't due
until 2015 and the entire story takes 600 pages to tell.

You'd think that with one month between pages, the artwork would be
fantastic but it isn't. You'd think that it will cover a lot of ground in
each page since the author has a month's worth of story to tell but it's
extremely decompressed. All I can say is that the cover looks a lot better
than the interior and you'd be seriously pissed if you had shelled out
$14.95 for the book that took me twenty minutes to read.
Has anyone read this and has something to add?
