An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge rated it 6 years ago
I read this for one of my summer classes. We had to read and annotate 10 comics/graphic novels. Here's the annotation I wrote for that class: Maika Halfwolf is on a quest to discover information about her shadowy past. Along the way she must battle an ancient entity who shares her mind and body an...

I still want to get to the meat of the mystery - the creature that lives in Maika and that occasionally is brought out, with disastrously fatal results. This ties to her mother, and others who are on the opposite side of the war from Maika, but again this moves slowly and is hampered - at least f...

I just didn't enjoy it as much as many of my go-tos: any TF written by Roberts or Barber, many of my Marvel titles and some of the DC rebirth titles. That being said, I owned this and read it before volume 2 for the Hugo nominations. I enjoyed this more than I suspected I would because of the h...

I liked this one far more than the first and I am not even sure why. The art is just as gorgeous and the prose as high quality, but somehow this felt stronger than the first volume.

This isn't bad. It's an interesting idea. The artwork is wonderful. But the story doesn't fully grab or engage me. I will be reading vol 2 considering I got it the same time, but it isn't a drving narrative.

Source: LibraryI love this series! Maika continues her search by traveling to the Isle of Bone. Beautiful illistrations, and complex story-telling and mythology.

This series continues to impress with both its art and its storytelling. I was worried the quality established in the early issues couldn't be sustained, but if anything this collection is even better. In this volume the story and world expand, but none of the intimacy is lost. As some questions are...

I don't know that I've ever seen a series as beautiful as this one. Every panel is as intricate and lovely as the cover art. It's astonishing that this is a full monthly title and not a short run comic. Add in the carefully crafted plot, well conceived world-building, and full cast of kick-ass chara...

I have no idea what's going on here, I adore the art-work and several of the characters are very interesting but I want to care more and I can't find it in me, I care about a lot of the peripheral characters but the main characters aren't as compelling. I'm following more of the art than the story ...

A teenage girl searching for answers on her mother’s death and the horror that is transforming her mind and body. Once you get into this graphic novel, which might take a little bit, the characters are likeable and some horrible. They make you feel the way you should which terror, fear and a litt...
